What could I expect out of a healthy 347 with around 10.5 cr , AFR 185's or Fast as Cast 190's , custom cam , long tubes.... changing over to mass air... This would be going through a AOD.. Could I hit 390-410 at the wheels or is that a pipe dream? I am on the fence to either build a motor for the fox, or to sc my s197..
what can expect out of a 347 rwhp?

Build the AOD with a manual valve body and good clutch packs/shift kit and the Trans will be fine. I have an AOD behind a 383 stroker in my car. Oh and get a stacked plate trans. cooler. A REALLY BIG ONE

i debated the 331 vs 347 for a long time. I know awhile back 347 were prone to burn oil due to the longer stroke and thinner cylinder walls, i dunno if thats still the case or not. You cant go wrong either way. I chose a 331 simply because its a street car, not a race car. And your Aod will be ok if its built like 95verts, but he has some money in that tranny.

375rwhp is a little more relalistic, unlesss you plan to spin the crap out of it. but good enough for deep 11s

Yeah as far as stock goes....lol ive Burned up a few AOD's with just simple bolt on's on a 302. You can get your Trans to handle a 347 inside of $700 if you pull it yourself and have someone who knows what theyre doing build it. $700 compared to a properly built 347 would be the cheap stuff.
thanks for the all the commets.. my buddy is trying to talk me into plyaing with the fox and leaving the 06 alone.. he had a 91 notch that had a 347 forged lower end ,custom cam with a vortech s trim pullied for around 13-14lbs with meth inj and through a aod was running 10.50's at over 120 at Gateway International I believe he was making around 500 to the tire.. he was running some done up Canfields though... Am I just chasing my tail trying to make a conv a play toy?

If you had a manual tranny 380-390rwhp would be possible but with an AOD, I reckon 330-340rwhp is more likely.
Build the AOD up as Chris suggested and it'll handle the power easily.
so 16 more cubes is gonna make all the difference in the world, lol.
if you need cubes, then go with a 408 stroker
375-380 is tough, even with a manual trans. My friend, as mentioned pulls shy of 340 on a tune
put a stroker in your Fox u wont look back i got a 333ci Stroker my car makes around your target HP NA..... LOADS of FUN!!!!!!if ur gonna stay NA with a 331 or 347 almost no difference between them go for a little xtra compression with a good custom grind cam it will get u what u want 
so much bad information in this thread i dont know where to begin....
LOL, you're ABSOLUTELY right, Starting with YOUR thread!!!! Stick to Talk my friend, you do not belong here.

Since your are calling it, how about pointing some of it out?so much bad information in this thread i dont know where to begin....
you are right about that. the 347 i built only made 425rwhp, runs 10s at 124 on motor and is still running after 8 years. i wish i was smart enough to write an article on clutch adjustment. but im stupid compared you guys.
