I'm looking to get some real power... I've seen alot of these 302 to 347 stroker kits... You think it would be worth it???

More cubes = more power, however what sort of "real" power are you looking at? A nice solid roller and some killer heads would probably net you more power than just adding a stroker kit alone.

Think of a stroker kit as icing on the cake.

To add, it depends on where you want your power increase and how much drivability you may be willing to give up. So if you keep your stock heads, intake manifold, cam, and exhaust for example, a simple increase in displacement would be "wasted" since the factory parts (or mismatched/insufficient aftermarket ones) would choke the motor.

I'm also in the process of building 347 stroker I already have the block machined and all i already have a rotating assembly picked out from scat. Your kit all depends on what your looking to build I'm building a high compression there's alot of math involved if you wanna do it right so your not just ordering parts and don't know what your outcome will be it's best to do all the math so your combo of parts turn out the way you want them to send me a message if you want some more info Iv looked at alot of diff combos and can Probly lead you in a good direction I also know some sites selling new 342 stroker kits new ford block and all short block for 1899 just hit me up
