We just built a 333 for our other car, and the bitch SCREAMS. I know this is a taboo subject, but we felt that the 347 was hanging it out there a bit to far (rod ratio), so we opted for the smaller stroke (331) but bored her out to 4.040" and ended up with 333 CID.

Canfield heads, custom Cam Motion Cam, Vic. Jr. intake and all the forged goodies. Top loader 4 spd behind it, stock posi unit and she's already gone 11.93 at 117MPH!!! Yes, all motor!

For the "ass dyno" go with the stroker, for the wow factor go with the turbo. Turbomustangs.com is an awesome resource, been checking it out myself for my 2006 combo (more on that later). But for some reason, I would still shy away from the 347. For the extra 14 cubes, I just don't think it's worth it.

Just my $.02!!!!
