    I am also considering a 331 stroker. My local machine shop says he can sell me a good 302 block for $100 if I have him do the machine work. I have found 331 stroker kits for about $800. How much block clearancing is necessary for the 331? I sure like the idea of 42 ci over the 289, especially if I can get if for only about $500 above the cost of overhauling the 289 bottom end.
