destroke 302

["Phillip Landry" <saltracer@hotmail.com>]

what are the advantages (and possibilities) of destroking a 302 ford to make 
a 260? as compared to using the 255 block to begin with. I understand the 
255 bore is pretty small 3.68, but has the same stroke. Just theory wise 
wouldn't it be better to have the 4.0 bore of the 302 and whatever short 
stroke is required to reach 260? Obviously I'm thinking of a "E" class 
motor, 260 max. I also understand a stock 260 is actually a little over the 
limit. Phil
