    Has Anyone Purchased D&D Motorsports 347 Long Block?

    My last notch had a 347 from D&D in it. Sold the car because it was burning alot of oil and I didn't have money at the time to fix everything wrong with it. The motor was only supposed to have 10,000 miles on it.

    Car idles at 1500

    I have an 1 inch spacer so I don't know if the last owner did anything like that but I will look into it. What about the rockers if they where all too tight would it cause this??
