All,
I know this has been beaten to death on the inter-webs and I have consumed mass quantities of said subject on said webs and have decided that I am going to build a 347 out of my old 302.
I wanted to start this thread for advice and things to watch out for while I am setting up to check the "Build a stroker motor by hand" check box.
I pulled the block out of a non numbers 6cyl converted to 8 cyl - '65 fastback I picked up a few years ago and am now rebuilding - was told it was a 67 -289 and was gonna sell it - but now with a 302 block - the 347 is in reach and what I plan to build. I am not looking to set records but I am looking to get well into the 400Hp mark.
At this point the plan...
I have pics to post later - but wanted to put this up here so I can get thoughts from my fellow gear-heads and broaden my research to include direct input from motivated peers.
Cheers!
Ben
PS- That is a 70's Shelby lower intake manifold under the Holley 650.... Gotta look into that too SFJD-9425F...

At this point the plan...
- Eval engine block (magna flux) (other tests?)
- Bore block (machine shop identified - reliable verifiable work)
- AD Performance 347 kit
- There is a current aftermarket cam that I need to identify once I get it out of the block or source new CC262 or like?
- Cylinder Heads - Currently have iron heads from tear down - Looking for new aluminum heads - Gt40 vs X heads vs Trick Flow etc....?
