[QUOTE="Roush6018, post: 16914992, member: 78571"] the big bore size makes the actual sleeve much thinner than stock. this means the metal will be weaker because its thin. it will eventually wear out and the pistons will have some play in the bore. the 302 is popular , if you are planning to have something reliable, you should start with an aftermarket 5.0L block. Stroker motors are known to run hot. one tip i can offer if he can take the car to a mechanic, have them remove both valve covers, and check the head bolt torque. sometimes on a performance motor the head bolts can come loose leading to a head gasket failure. my 5.0 had exhaust leak at the header flange, make sure you run a MLS gasket and stage 8 locking header bolts on any 5.0L [/QUOTE]
