    Good deal, or too good to be true? Smog passable(not to be confused with smog legal)?

    I don't know about that cam (don't know much about it :D) Your internals won't matter. They're probably not even going to know it's aftermarket unless you tell the smog tech. The smog tech isn't going to know my motor is larger than a 302. If they ask about my cam, I'm just going to tell...

    Tires with decent tread life and with awesome performance?

    Stop peeling out, and they'll last longer than 9,000 miles :rlaugh: I have Firehawk SZ50s. Had them about 25k miles. The grib is nice, and they're very quite. They received good ratings on the rating dealie on www.tirerack.com. I've never been to the track w/ them.

    Audio questionnnn

    You'll have to rewire if the shop wired your amp to power your new deck. I too wanted to get rid of the stock amp, so I unplugged it and yanked it out....and then my radio didn't work! So I put it back in for now. I don't know about those things other than how to unplug and plug stuff in, lol!

    pro-topline alum heads

    Look pretty nice by those numbers. Very close to AFR 185s. I think the 185s flow a tad more on the Intake runner, but the Pro-Toplines do a little better on the exhaust side.

    331 vs. 347

    If 347s were that bad, companies would stop putting them together because of dissatisfied customers.

    ENGINE BUILDER SAYS i BETTER DO THIS!!

    Sounds just like mine. I was hoping for 360rwhp and 375rwtq. Told Ed my car is my daily, keeping AC and all that crap, pass CA emissions....Should be nice and torquey.

    What heads should I go with (347)???

    I got mine about 2.5 weeks after we talked. I assume he sent it to be ground once he got my payment. It came a lot sooner than I expected. Another vote for AFR 185s. Ed did my spring upgrade. I was border lined wether I'd need it or not, so I went ahead and go it. Was 150. Ed has AFR...

    ENGINE BUILDER SAYS i BETTER DO THIS!!

    You'll need 1/2" spacers or whatever they're called for those AFR185s. They're drilled for 1/2, not 7/16 like the 165s

    87-93 Locking Gas Door/Cap??Anyone know of one?!!

    I bought a locking cap at Autozone. Don't remember how much it was, but less than 10bucks I'm sure

    What cam should i go with for my 347?

    Maybe Trick Flow Stage 2 cam? Since you don't want to spend over 200. I went custom. 325, but I'm sure you'd be glad you spent the extra money on it

    Whats the ideal engine temp for a slightly modified 302?

    Block part of your radiator w/ a piece of cardboard, to reduce the amount of air that flows across to cool the coolant. Start w/ covering maybe 1/4 of your radiator. Then go from there. Don't cover too much though, will get really hot. I put the card board on the top 1/4 of my radiator, and...

    Which gears to get?

    Not to be a jerk, but your 'schematic' is off. I have 3.55s w/ 16in rims. 65 mph in 5th gear is 2,000 rpm. 140mph is way less than 5200rpm....I did it (and punched a whole in a piston :rlaugh: )

    Any way to prove friend has 347?

    Dyno numbers? If it produces a lot of torque at low rpm, it could be. Does the car run out of steam lower than a 302? That could be a way to tell also

    7/16" - 1/2" head bolt bushings w/ AFR165's

    AFR 165s are 7/16. the 185s are 1/2

    engine choices?

    Yes it's worth havin a stroker even if you have to pass emissions :D :nice: 88stangman--306 or 308 will get you the same power. It's only 2 cubes, and the difference is in the size of the piston, not the stroke. I think you'll be very happy with the Trick Flow package. My suggestion is...

    M&M K-Memeber question

    I believe you have to shorten your drive shaft 1" when you move the motor back. Probably have to relocated the tranny cross memeber. Best bet is to call them up. 1st hand info!

    custom cam

    If you don't mind the 325, I'd say go custom. Looks like you already ran a few 12s. Even if you just add the spray I bet you'd be lookin at least at low 12s (w/o the custom cam) possibily more. Your choice :)
