Good! So heres the first reference to a builder where he states his opinion! I'm glad you posted it thanks!
I still say they are much stronger. For his response there are 10 saying otherwise. I actually have a stroked 408 and I am not posting what someone else says. At my power level which is normally a block splitter for a 302 it is holding up just fine! It even took a dyno pull where the tuner leaned out my DFI and cracked 6 pistons. Didin't hurt anything but the pistons.
Anyway for those that think a 302 is just as strong as a 351 thats great, everyone has their opinion!
I still stand behind mine that a 351 is stronger than a 302 period. I highly doubt that a 302 at the power level I have would still be in 1 piece after 8 yrs!
It's funny how a thread starts about stroker 351's and it has to be derailed into 302 vs 351 strength. Bottom line a 351 stroker kit to a 408 or larger is not much $ more ,sometimes less than $100 than a 331 or 347. The big cube stroker will make more HP and Torque evey time.
