347 Stroker

94Cobra3350 · 08-27-2001, 08:11 AM

Has anybody had a bad experience with a 347 stroker being used as a daily driver? I.E., overheating or lossing longevity in your block? I was thinking about getting a Pro Street 347 until a friend told me I wouldn't even get 50,000 more miles out of my engine if I did?

I only drive my car a couple times a week but I did start off with some overheating probs..But after a new waterpump pulley, 3 core radiator, and electic fan in front of radiator, I had no more overheating. It stays at about 170-210...
Those problems with 347's only lasting 50K is a thing of the past, dont worry about that...
