I can't say from personal experience, just from what i've heard. The 347 stroker was never intended to be a high mileage engine, and in my earlier reading about it, I read that 5000 miles was alot to get from one. Now, I know people that have gotten 35k miles, and are still going strong, but none of them were blown. I would have to say it's probably not a great idea, at least not without a stronger block.

Take care,
