I want a better engine than the 302 4B in my 68 fb. It has been suggested that the least expensive way to get about 400 hp is to buy a later model 302 roller cam block and build it up, and that it can be done for about $2500? Does this sound right and will I get the 400+ hp?
Don't really understand the difference between roller cam and reg cam. Trying to learn a little here. THanks.

The latest issue of car craft shows a 400hp build up of a 302 that uses AFR heads, headers, STOCK ROLLER CAM!, and 1.7 ratio rockers. They started with the 302 HO engine with the factory forged pistons.
