The Ford racing long block I believe that you are looking at does mention in the specs that the 345hp is based on using the Motorsport induction kit, headers and 65mm throttle body. It also does say it has roller cam and lifter but doesn't mention the rockers SRP$3195. They list 2 short blocks (1) stock block with "Explorer" roller cam no mention of lifters SRP $1395, the other is a 302/347 stroker without cam for $2495. Is there something wrong with your block? They also have listed a 302/342 "stroker kit" for 68 - 200 302's incl. pistons, rings, rods bearings for $1195.(machinine/balancing would be required but this might be a good way to go. Even with $500+ in machining if you build it you still would have about $700 - $1300 left over from the for goodies instead of buying the long block (which you would stiil need to add some parts to)


Just my thoughts,

good luck,
