I think it will turn out for the best since it will be nostalgic to R&R and engine again.
Once you do it that way, you can always say the you have a punched out 396 under your hood and that sounds way cooler than a 402 anyway.

Last time I did a 396/402 I actually had it bored out another .030 (so it's now a 408) and for some strange reason (same dimensions), the .060 over 396 pistons listed for a lot less than .030 over 402 pistons.
