Ok, I won't say drop in a 302 but why not drop in a 250 if that's what you want? There are differences in the block, as the 250 uses a V8 bellhousing. If you got a 250 you could back it up with a V8 driveline and if you were really into stroking you could punch it out bigger. Stroking a 200 to a 250 is sort of like stroking a GM 305 to a 350. Why not just get the stronger block, since its not any bigger dimensionally. -CP
: Can I stroke my I6 200 to a 250 from 3.126 to 3.910. OK before you say drop in a 302, I have a 302 Mav. This is for my son and for obvious reasons, ie insurance, gas and just to do it. The blocks look the same and the stroke seems to be the only difference. Looks like I pick up 35 ponies and 50 foot pound of tourque if there isn't a reason to do this. Also, the I6 is one durable little runner.
