Guys I need some help. I am young (19) inexperienced and have wanted to get into hot rodding since I was about 12. My step-dad comes from denver and has a big racing back ground, but he says I have to build one on my own to get his help with a bigger project. Here is what I am wanting to do I want to take the 3.8L V6 out of my 98 Mustang and swap it with a built 302. I have two 302 blocks right now one form 72' the other from 78' and I have a set of 351 pre-smog heads. I have been looking at making a 347 Stroker with somewhere around 9.5-10.2 Compression Ratio, and designed for street/strip use. Not sure where to begin on this build or if I should just scrap the 347 for now, and just build a little more hopped up 302 closer to stock. Any advice or opinions would be nice.

Thanks all
