Hey guys, I REALLY need your input on this one. I just inherited a thousand dollars and I plan to buy a stroker kit at the end of this month. I know what heads and cam I want but Im still not sure whether or not to go with a 331 or a 347. I could go to a junkyard and get a 351 block and stroke that to a 396 but I already have a 302 block and thats a lot more work.(of course its a lot more cubes too)

I have heard that 331's are much more reliable and make a much broader and smoother powerband. Can anyone elaborate on this?

One more question. I want a high compression stroker, somewhere around 11 to 1. Is it possible to squeeze a hundred shot on that if I drasticaly retard the timing or is nitrous absolutely out of the question? It will have forged pistons and I beam rods.

Thanks.
