I understand wanting more power, but i also understand money being tight. Moreover when you rebuild it no one said the 302 had to be stock, and some of the parts may not be too much more than stock, and still leave you spending less than the 454 swap.

Just my 2 cents.
Well said! I think we're dealing with dreams here more then reality. This is not a smart project for a guy in hard times.
