Poor man stroker
I have a 302 block that I'm working on for my car, i have a crank and pistons from a 351w 80's block would it be worth it to try useing this stuff for a little more cubes or is it not worth the effort?

More cubes are always worth it.

+1 on the 351 stuff not working. Budget stroker kits are out there that make a 331/347 affordable. Balancing could cost extra on the cheaper kits. I feel that if you do not have the time/money to do it right the first time, when are you going to have the time and money to do it over? Not trying to discourage you from the hobby. It just sucks when you have to do things over like an engine swap.

yup...back in the day they used to use offset ground Cleveland cranks...most anything you buy now would be better. As mentioned, most "kits" need balancing which adds up...

That 351 crank has 3" mains, that 302 has something like 2.5" mains
