R302 or stock 351W block for stroker?

Fiveohcrazy · 05-03-2009, 03:05 PM

I've had my heart set on a 351W in my Fox for quite some time but may have changed my mind after all??????
I found a new R302 block a new eagle forged 4340 crank with a 3.4 stroke and a set of eagle forged h beam rods,bearings, rings and etc. for around $2000. My plan is to twin turbo my car later down the road.
I've got quite a stock pile of 302 performance/non-performance stuff saved up and would have to start from scratch to start running a 351W.

What to do??? Any opinions??? R302 block or stock roller 351W?

Pros and cons? Any advise? Fryguy

the 302 for sure, you can push an aftermarket block a lot further than a stock block, and 351w blocks do break, i have saw it with my own eyes......and you say tou already have 302 parts laying around, plus it sounds like a good deal........and with the 302 you are always the underdog

more races this year cause they race at milan. anybody can go fast there. last year we were racing on the street and my shit works good there, now everybody has the same advantage and i have the least amount of hp. that is why i have to spray it so hard to keep up at the track, on the street i dont spray it with half of what i do at the track.

Aftermarket for sure. Their is no replacement for displacement, err, except for nitrous and boost. And the R block will outlive the stock windsor casting........
