Re: 306 or 347?
No replacement for displacement. Speed costs money. How fast you want to go depends on how deep your pockets are period!!! No way around that. As far as E.T. and horsepower is concerned, its about overall combination. Like Jester recommended, go with that combination. Or go with some other one that works. Best way to find out, the race track. You have to educate yourself for whats best for you. But cubic inches cant be replaced. Sure, someone can put a blower, nitrous or turbo on a smaller cubic inch motor and make as much or more power, but cubic inches will have more potential for power! And cubic inches cost money.

Re: 306 or 347?
Thanks for the respnses guys!.. Another question... do you still have to get the bottom of the piston walls machined for the 331 crank so the rod bolts clear? Thanks

Re: 306 or 347?
Yeppers, but not nearly as much as the 347 does, for obvious reasons. A main girdle won't be a bad idea either. Like Tarmon8r was saying, all depends on what you want to get out of your engine and car.
Let us know!

Re: 306 or 347?
Well i am hoping to run low to mid 11's N/A. Would you recommend dealing with DSS for the 331 stroker kit? I am from Canada but i find that it is still cheaper to go across the border to buy and pay for shipping. Jester, what do you think of the stage 3 trickflow cam? This car is going to be street/strip so i am hoping on getting 450 or more HP!

Re: 306 or 347?
I've never dealt with that particular cam, but I've heard good things about it. Call them (330-630-1555) and make sure all your parts are gonna work with it. That's an awful lot of duration for a street car. Not gonna be a daily driver for sure. And with .595" lift, you'll have to make sure your pistons are going to clear the valves. Remember that an engine is a SYSTEM and to get peak horsepower, all your pieces and parts have to play nice together. A big ol' cam won't do you any good if you can't utilize it. Not trying to talk you out of that cam, but there might be a better one suited for what you're trying to build.

Re: 306 or 347?
Thanks for the response. The car will not be a daily driver just cruise in it on nice days and cruise nights, car shows etc.. Just want something to run at the track when we all go and run 11's.. then possibly race on the streets.. for fun
Is DSS a good choice to deal with for stroker kits? |
