Engine casting

I have a 302 out of a merc grand marquis that came with my pickup. Casting is E5AE-CA. Is this a decent block to bore and stroke? Any info would be a help. Thanks

what are your hp and rpm plans for the motor and what size of stroker? Why not start with a 351 windsor, it would make for a way better choice.

What cooter said. Stock cubes are best and cheapest! 351W is the best Ford engine commonly available, and a direct replacement for a 302.
