Looking for a 347 short block, but not wanting to spend $5k on the boss version. Looking for a very reliable supplier. I have heard that some of the mjor engine building companies, really do not have the best most reliable motors. Any suggestions??

I wouldnt go to DSS if it were me. My good friend has had 2 347's fail from them in the last 6 mos. He has been fighting with them on the second one.
I've heard the same about DSS, but what i dont understang is why does everyone always use a 302? Why dont more of us get a 351 and stroke it to a 408. 302 cubic inch to 351 cubic inch!I'm currently doing a 351 and the parts are dam near the same price! peace

I have thought about doing the same thing, I guess the only thing that will not cross over is the lower intake ?

Intake,sometimes headers,head bolts ared bigger on a 351 dizzy is diffrent, and if your putting a 351 in a fox then you need the oil pan conversion as well. But yeah a 351 will make tons more power then a 302 any day and for close to the same price! peace

Yah, we think it does, but can not verify. It's using some oil (does not smoke), but come to find out its probably the PVC valve and some breathr issues. We are pulling th motor, figured I would upgrade while its out and I have some $$ to spend on it.
