hey guys,
im trying to decide between buying a DSS racing 306 or 331 stroker motor, a FPS racing block (again 306 or 331), or rebuilding my stock block to save some cash...
what do you all think i should do? i would have to take a loan out to build the engine.. but im ok with that.
the DSS blocks for a 306 are $2,000 and for a 331 is $2,500.. DSS states that you only see a 30-40 hp increase between the two. Have you guys heard anything good about DSS??? the two people i know both bought engine from them, each of which were not to happy with the quality, but then they advertise all these cars running 9's with their engines.
i just came across the FPS blocks. they are about they are about $400 to $500 cheaper... never even heard of these guys.. have any of you? heres a link to the website

or im thinking of just building up my stock motor with a 302 kit and saving the money for heads and cam and just be done with it. ive never rebuilt a engine before so im not to sure which way i want to go and im coming to you guys to help me decide...
are these engine reliable? if so which one would be best for 70%street and 30% track??
is rebuilding a engine fairly simple? would it be as reliable as purchasing a new with with all forged internals?
how much hp would i make with going with a 306 or a 331 instead of the stock 302???
does it handle modifications better?
whats the difference between flat and domed pistons?
i have alot more questions but we will leave it to these for now....
