I'd stick with the 302 next time. I have 2 broncos. Both with 351's. And it's great. But the 302 fits so much better. Especially when you start dealing with headers and efi intakes and high rise carb intakes and hydro boost. Neither is a bad choice tho. My 2cents

The problem with 302 strokers is the horse power limit of a stock block,once you pass about 400hp you're going to have problems. Alot of the high horse power strokers you read about run aftermarket blocks,its a totally different package. Stock blocks can and do crack or split when built for high horse power. The pistons wear out faster and they tend to burn oil. Been there done that,dollar for dollar a 351w will be cheaper and last longer than a stroked 302.
