my engine is '72 mexico block 302 with solid, flat tappet cam and roller
rockers.
while its a very well built engine, on a whim, had a run of the mill roller
cam 302 machined up to build a 347 by fordstrokers.com.

it should clearly kick out more power and torque, but i'm a little worried
that i'll ruin the wonderful sound.  my 302 is the best sounding engine i've
heard, period!  will this be gone with hydraulic roller lifters?

i only rev the mexico block to 6200 rpm (although it should be fine for a
good deal more), which will likely be the limit on the 347, so i'm not
giving up revs with the stroker.
