Thanks Mike and Spook,

Some very attractive options.

Now, my experience with windsor or small blocks fords is very limited.

I have had big blocks both ford and chev, and a swag of Clevelands, but never a Windsor or the 5.0 HO before.

So with the stroker options posted, are the mounts, bell-housing, PCM's(firing order, cam vs spark/injection timing etc) and plumbing the same between the 302 CUI Winsdor block and the 5.0 HO???

Additionally, noting that I already have a 5.0 block I would consider pulling the engine, standing it, pulling it down, and installing a compatible stroker kit, rather than an entire plant switch. I am comfortable with how to do this..so are the 302 stroker kits the same as the 5.0 kits.

If its a hassle then I will look at the plant change out option assuming compatibility with mountings and other aforementioned variables, (and do I need another PCM?)

Cheers Guys, you have been great just looking at all the options and evaluating performance vs cost (time, effort and cash), so more than happy to read your thoughts.

Cheers Adz
