  Has anyone seen this.
What is the reality of this "truth" anyway.

I Dont know how to say this ,,,,But First, know Ive always loved
A.M.C.. I own a gremlin a hornet a comando and a cherokee. But
recently I read about engine weights and found a 302 is half the
weight of a 304.
I was toying with the idra of a stroker ( 304 bored 40 over to
acept a 360 head [20% larger valve stock ]and early 70s forged 390
crank ), when I ran into a problem with the journals.
For less than half the price of all that I could put a mustang 302
with 4 speed auto inplace of the 727. disc kit on the model 20,
Coilovers infront,edelbrock TPI and i'll smoke anything. GOD HELP ME!

==============================


Half the weight ?>  Is it an Alum. block 302 ?

And starting with a 304 is absurd > start with a 360 minimum
and toss in Nicks Forged Con Rods & some forged slugs unless
you're looking for 9K rpm shift points on the street.

The cast crank is good to 7k and is lighter.

The DOHC Ford V8 is a howler, but you've got to
juggle cast parts there as well unless you're starting
with a COBRA motor > and why then start with
a 302 when you can have their 5.4 DOHC V8
and that Supercharger item on top >>??
> read cubic $$$.


For what you had 'planned' with a 304 AMC, 
you can have in a 360 AMC at way less cost.
