your right you do not need to notch the block for a 331..just a 347..the reason why the 331 lives longer is the rod ratio..it is actally better than stock...better rod ratio means higher revving and longer life...rod ratio in 347 keeps the lifespan lower than other stroker kits..if you want a really hgih reving and want to swap to a solid cam then go with somehting like a 317 stroker and rev it to 8k!!!
BTW the coast high 347 stroker kit does not have the wrist pin intersecting the oil conrtol ring..if you do get a kit get a coast high
