    Ford Racing 347 Stroker. Who has 'em?

    Thanks for the replies guys. I have read that the C347 does have a forged crank, rods and pistons. The price at jegs is around $3000. Yeah, thats alot of money for that when you can probobly go to CHP or something for the same thing for about $300 less. Better motor? Maybe...Maybe not...

    Ford Racing 347 Stroker. Who has 'em?

    Well sir, what you just said is excately what my line of thinking is. Okay yeah, get some one to build you a motor. Thats fine. I dont really "know" any local builders to build a motor. Call CHP, Keith Craft or whoever and have them build one. Thats fine too. I have read FEW complaints...

    Ford Racing 347 Stroker. Who has 'em?

    Does anyone have one of these? Are they any good? Hyperutectic versus Forged. Whats the difference? There is two 347s that ford has. One has hyperutectic pistons and cast crank. The other has forged pistons and crank. Instead of having one built, why not get one of these...

    Bassani X Pipe - BBK Hpipe SUCKS

    Man i couldnt even get the hangers to work on mine. I was like okay. I can cut & weld them. I just decided to take the exhaust holder off of the transmission and bolt the pipe in just to make sure i liked the sound. I couldnt even to that. The pipes that bolt to the header collector...

    Blown head gaskets?

    Pic added. Sorry for the blurriness. I just wasnt able to position the camera properly. If you look closely at the bottom of the head, there is alot of "black gooey" crap right where the gasket it. This pic is showing the passenger side head at the rear of the motor. The driver side...

    Bassani X Pipe - BBK Hpipe SUCKS

    I would love to have a stainless x from bassani but i dont want to pay for it. I prefer the $360 aluminized version. I just hope i like the sound of it. The BBK fit was just a joke. I am so suprised with that. Some other places to purchase? Thanks...

    Decided against 347......

    Thanks for the info myke. You have basically what i am wanting. What mass air sensor do you use? If i do this, i may end up with a granetelli. I have a BTM 6 by MSD. I dont use it anymore cause it quit working. I run 8* timing on the street. On 93 gas, i have no detonation. Or atleast i...

    Blown head gaskets?

    Well i was trying to install my new bbk hpipe when i noticed some gunk around the head gaskets. Its kinda slimy, black looking crap. Its around the bottom side of the head right where the gasket is. Its mainly around #4 and #8. Actually, i does look like a little coolant around #4 too...

    Decided against 347......

    347 with 5-6psi and use 30's? I definetly dont want to use an FMU. I think they are junk. Here is the deal with a "tune". I dont know of where i can get a tune where i live. I dont know enough about it to actually use a pms or tweecer. However, guess no one does until they try. What...

    Decided against 347......

    Well sir, i surely hope your right. After i did a search about the 42's, i was like "now what am i gonna do" :shrug: So, shouldnt have any idle problems or extreme rich problems? I think someone even wrote that the "pulse width" or something was just too much with 42's. Yeah, i have...

    Decided against 347......

    Well, i dont have a problem with a 331. Just figured extra power for same price, 347. From what i've read, i need that tweecer or pms. I have read that people are unable to get their motor started and that they cant get it to go beyond 2000 with 42lb injectors. I just thought you needed...

    Couple of cam questions

    We have a very similar setup. I am running an E cam. I have always heard that the E cam was considered a "blower cam". Whether it is or not, i dont know. There was a thread a couple of days ago reguarding cams. From what i understand, blower cams generally have a little less duration than...
