New 302

I'm saving for a new motor for my 1992 Bronco (302 with 170K). I dreamed of putting in a 460, but it seems as though that would be way too time consuming and adaptation insane. So, I think I've convinved myself to drop in a new 302. But, I would like an upgraded one. I've been checking the web and came across two "performance" long blocks that could give me slightly over one horsepower per cubic inch.

Has anyone purchased a "performance" motor on the internet? If so, do you have any recommendations or links to share?

Thanks!

I thought about the 351W but I can't sem to find the defintive answer and switching from 302. I checked the board (in the past) and could only find partial answers. I've gathered that I need to replace the "computer" in a 302 to 351W swap. But, I'm not sure if that is all.

What was stock horse in 351W anyway?

If you did put a 460 in it, it'll scare you

That was the plan! I planned on seeing how many rear ends I could fracture.
