Thread: What do you think of this kit?

Tweet

My 302 Ford block is at the machine shop right now getting the standard stuff, line bored, decked, hot tank, cam bearings, bored 30 over, etc. I figure while I am building it I might as well go with more cubes so I'm looking at stroker kits to either go to 325 or 347 cubes (probably 347). What do you guys who build engines think of this kit?

ESP" Full competition rotating assemblies are the perfect choice for racers desiring a bullet proof bottom end peformance engine.

New Eagle "ESP" 3-D H-Beam connecting rods ( Bushed Fit Pins )
New SRP high performance forged aluminum pistons, with pins and locks

Crankshaft Stroke Rod Length Piston Type Piston Brand Compression Ratio 58cc Compression Ratio 62cc
3.180 5.400 Flat Top -5cc

Do you guys like this combo? If not what changes would you make? I'm going to run either a MotorSport X or Z cam with it.........stick shift, deep gears, maybe 4:33 or 4:88 and a 30 inch tire. Probably roller rockers, not sure of brand yet, maybe Comp Cams.

Thanks,

Don
