Made up my mind-347 plans starting

todd95GT · 10-02-2001, 04:49 PM

Ok, was talking to my engine builder today. Great guy. After the 4.10's go in in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to start stockpiling parts for a 347 stroker. I would like to add the heads and intake to the 302 in the meantime, but get parts that will be compatible with the larger motor when the project is built and it's ready for the swap. I'm set on AFR heads. Do you guys think 185's for the 347? If so, do you think they'd be too much for the 302 in the meantime. No way in hell I'm spending a grand twice. Just looking for your opinions. I think I'm going with an Edelbrock Performer 5.0 intake.

I have a 347 for about three years,a good cooling system is a must!Your choice of heads a good one,a little large for a 302 great for a 347! Mine will pass the fast pass dyno emission test! and runs a 11.84 @113.7 this is a great engine you will love it. Go mild on the cam if you can,mine does not like city traffic, runs hot!! Hope I was of some help!

Great times. What is your 347 comprised of?

O.K lets try to remember!Stock block!,cast Scat crank(which failed ) Eagle rods J.E pistons,Dart Sr heads ,no porting,, victor 5.0 intake 70mm t-body,c-4 trans 8" converter 3.73s Dr.Gas X pipe Dynomax superturbo mufflers. car is 3152# + me 240 power steering,air pump,noa/c 38 deg timing= about 22with spout disconnected I did had a Cobra intake at first, it worked well ,Victor5.0 has better top end, 30# injectors. There is a lot more you can do with your 347 I am happy with mine ,I would use AFRs next time ,Like you will! Oh! the cam!Comp Cam Xe274HR .555in .565ex I have been racing my car for 14yrs,and the 347 has been the most fun! All non 5.0 guys look at it and say what size is it? And I say it says on the fender 5.0
