Re-reading your post, I caught something I missed earlier this morning. I wasn't aware that you needed to notch the cylinder walls with the 302 long-arm setups. I'll look out for that detail as I read further on other sites. If you know of a website that describes needing this procedure done, I'm interested in reading up on the details.

I haven't researched the true-stroker options enough yet, although I could believe it possible that a 342 would have a long enough stroke (3.4") to throw the connecting rod into the wall of the cylinder. But I haven't read that on any site so far.

I have seen that the 327 stroker (331 bored .030) and 342 (347 bored .030) uses the 5.400" rods which if memory serves is a SBC 350 rod.

The part I find ironic is when long-arming a SBC 350, you use Ford's 6" rods from a 300 in-line 6. When long-arming the Ford 302, you use Chevy rods (5.565" from SBC 400).
