SlowGT:

The math goes something like this for your stock 5.0 engine:

4.00 bore x 3.00 stroke x 3.141592654 (Pi) x 8 = 301.59 or 302

My 331 goes like this:

4.06 (which is a .030" overbore) x 3.25 x 3.1415 x 8 = 331.62 or 331

And the 347 kit:

4.06 x 3.40 x 3.1415 x 8 = 346.93 or 347

I personnally like the 331 kit for my application - which includes a ProCharger in the near future. Makes for a well mannered street car that can open up a can of whooop-arse by just taking the rpms up a little.
