Keep it and buy a used 302 with the tranny, put it on a stand in your garage and take your time completely rebuilding it. That what I plan to do. You can get a stroker kit for around $500 that comes with everything. When its complete slap it in your Notch and start all over..........

I dont know if I would trust buying my internals for $500 bucks. Too cheap to me. I would be concerned w/ quality.

yea i seen the basic setup but then you still need the rest of the kit. look into it more before assuming its such a great deal. 1800 dollars is everything you need minus machine work and block. those 500 kits arent like that

Here is a link to a basic stroker kit from TMD. I havent reached the time to purchase so I havent done much research. These may be poorly manufactured. Who knows? When I do get to that bridge I will be asking you guys for your opinions for sure.

never heard oh"hawks racing". before buying i would want to see a picture of the actual kit, not just the "example photo" that in the listing.

I personally wouldnt trust an off brand kit but you can automatically put them down because they are not popular. Even CHP, DSS, Keith Craft, etc. were considered an offbrand at one time.
