>>>Uh...why?   Yes, they're lighter, but they also make less power.   You can 
pump up a 302 to make decent power, but with the same effort and money, a 351 
will make still more power.   So what's the reasoning?   The 351W makes sense 
since you can stroke it to the moon.   I suppose you could put a 302 stroked 
to 347 and get 351C power levels with lighter weight--is that what you're 
doing?

teeth.
