Steeda sells them under their name for s550''s but not listed for s197. When I called they had no information other than what the website states. Too bad you can't talk with a real enthusiast when calling a shop...

Time for me to upgrade the suspension again on my DD. Car started with Ford Racing track kit, when turned a DD I needed to remove it due to harshness. Went with BMR 009 springs and Strange adjustable shocks. Three of the Strange's have gone South internally in a year so time to get rid of them...

I see about a year ago Summit sold these for $999. Now they are $1299. less $100. in Summit bucks. Not bad but before I drop the hammer I wondered if I was missing a good deal elswhere. #51400004 or 51400010 I did search the web, CJ Pony and Dallas Mustang had a Labor day sale but they would...

The ring end gap is still within Hastings specs. What are you thinking on lifter preload? I have built about 20 engines but I am ready to drop this one off at Walker Racing for a second opinion.

I used a DSS Racing 347 block, rotating kit from Coast HP, sent to local shop for balance and piston to bore sizing, then assembled myself. I did set the ring gap on the tighter end of the allowance. Heads where cleaned up but I cc'd them at 71 cc when done. Not sure what the deck hight was.

C/R is supposed to be 9.3:1 but looks like it may be higher with the cam.

I have a 347 EFI I just checked compression on and was thinking this may be a little high for 91 octain. What's you opinions? 190-200 psi?? 347 stroker Flat Top SRS AFR 185's 72cc XE270HR hyd roller Mass Flow Efi system

It's a moly top ring, I can't imagine .030 as a recommended ring gap. I think the package said factory gap which I am not close to at this time. I'll have to look when i get home.

I am freshening up my 347 with a hone and new rings. Pistons still have .005 clearance as recommended. I have Probe #10660-40 pistons and ordered Summit Racing's .040 rings to install. I went to measure the end gap on the top ring and came up with .030! The Perfect Circle used rings I just...

The 9.5 rears would not fit. So i ended up with 19x8's with 245-40-19's.

I bought a new stephoscope. Sounds like the knock is coming from the back of the block or right at the trans mounting/bell housing area. I have a new Lentech converter and flexplate. Hmmm...

Does anyone know someone in SoCal that could diagnose a HP engine? The machine shops that I work with don't do in car repairs. Thanks

I know, it's a tipical diagnosis. But in every build I got the pistons tighter. There's no way it can be piston knock at .00175 fit. Thanks

The springs where tested when the heads rebuilt. I have run Crane lifters in one set up but no improvement. I was thinking of the oil weight before, I ran 10-30, 10-40 and 20-50 after break in. Did'nt really notice any difference. I thought the oil may be thining when the knock is getting less...

I have driven each one through a tank or more after trying to diagnose. The last one I have in now has been driven for probably 600 miles and still sounds the same. Once warm, no one notices, but let it cool down for a half hour and you can hear it. Almost like something is hitting somwhere inside.

Ok guys, I have a good one. I bought this 347 with a bad crank so I thought I'll just reuse the block and build from there. Well three teardowns later, it has the same knock in all three builds. Help! The knock is only below 190 deg. It's noticable at idle, but loud under load. Once it warms...

I want to thank everyone for the input. I just ordered staggered TSW Indy 500 wheels 19x8 and 19x9.5 Yokohama S-Drve tires Front 245-40-19 Rear 255-40-19 I'll post up pics later in the week when they are on. Thanks again.:)

Good input thanks. 245-45-18 or 245-40-19 or 245-35-19 I kinda like the 245-40-19

Good input.
