Well, I just finished a compression test on my 302 and it wasn't good. Highest reading on all cylinders was around 83. I want to replace it with a 351W, but the added cost is something I can't absorb (oil pan, intake, exhaust, etc). So...I got a price quote from CarQuest on a longblock 302 for around $1,100. I'll have 'em a RV cam & high volume oil pump too for a few extra $$.
My question is this: Can I reuse my roller tip rockers on the new motor? If so, will it make any difference with the RV cam, i.e., higher lift numbers?
