Why not just pick up an old 302 block, bring it to a local machine shop, have it bored and cleaned up, then assemble the motor with your specs for a heck of a lot cheaper.
I was always told that, that was the expensive route to go. By the time you get through buying all the new internals don't you end up spending the same money?
