DAMN!! I wish I had seen the posts in this one first before I posted in the other.
Guys, I did ALOT of research on the different 302 strokers before I bought what I have. Two years ago, when I bought mine, the 347 was the stroker to have but I found that the 331 was the perfect balance. I can't remember the sources(Paul's performance rings a bell) but I'm sure I could search through the 5 cases of mags in my closet to find some of the articles. They had different builders giving their take on the strokers and the 331 was only mentioned a couple times but it made my mind up. It does have a better stroke to rod ratio than the 302. Its a perfect engine for a blower, its a good engine period. It will last longer than a 347 but the 347 will give more power. I'm cheap(as some of you may know) so I wanted what would last, I plan on getting over 100k miles out of this engine. I think the 331 is what Ford should have built to start with... I'll see if i can find some of the articles that made my mind up(give me a few days to sort).
