I dissagree. The rod/stroke ratio on a 347 far worse than the 351W. The 347 will be using oil WAY before the 351W. Which is why I say.....If you want the motor you last more that 50K miles, go with the 351W.

That is not true. This is a MYTH that just won't die. Machine work will make or brake any engines life. All this "rod to stroke ratio, and oil ring thing" was a false statement so people would buy the 331 strokers from the selected few that offered them when the first came out. They made a killing off this, and now the myth has been spread all over the internet and people buying in to it.
