Unless you're trying to make a period correct looking car (302 is same size as a 289), go for the cubes.
It's a lot easier to make horsepower with a larger engine and you get more torque as a by product. A 400hp 302 isn't unheard of, but it takes some nice parts to get it up there. A 400hp 351W is a lot easier to achieve, plus you have lots of growing room (stroke it to way up over 400 cubic inches) in the future.
