    347 guys, whats your combo and numbers?

    "Clinton = work steady, it was boomin. bush = slowed down, lay-off's and collecting unemployment checks " Yeah because Clinton is one lucky SOB that rode the technology boom during it peaks and got out of office just as it started crashing. Sorry people but you need to do some research...

    AFR 165 + b-31 cam = NO POWER???

    "I just installed the cam straight up. No advance, no retard. " Almost all AFM cams have advance built into them, you need to degree it to see where it's installed. I.e. if this cam has a 112LSA then I willing to bet that the cam installed dot to dot is on (or should be) a 108ICL. Thumper...

    anyone have an a/c delete kit?

    I have a Ford Motorsport a/c delete kit, comes with everything you need except directions. Bought it from Mustangs Unlimited but Summit has them cheaper. It moves it a little higher but not where a/c was. Off memory was about $40.

    "How many of you guys actually have a 331 or 347 stroker for a daily driver? " 331ci in my daily driver through the streets of Boston, burned zero oil and held up longer than the 306 it replaced.

    What can holod more boost?? 306/331/347???

    Cylinder wall thickness has nothing to do with it, its the thickness of the top of piston that comes into play more and of course the parts. Theoretically a 306 can handle more boost than a 331 & 347 since it has the thickest compression height of the three listed.

    Not sure where your actually located but Coughlin machine in Norwood, MA does good work I've had them a few things for me. Your probably going to be looking at @ $300+ for that work.

    331 stroker q's

    If using a stock block there's no need for forged internals but if you're getting forged for a power adder down the road you might want to consider a better block. If you're plans are for just a stroker and that's it then save your money and get a cast kit. The setup you listed is a...

    Are the Afr 185cc heads to big for a stock 302 short block?

    This is so wrong I don't where to start. The cam is why he makes power down low, a big head needs a small cam to keep velocity up. As for the small intake and TB, first the air prior to plenum (MAF, TB and intake inlet) has little to nothing to do with the velocity because it hits the open...

    Got a cam... Opinions?

    Looks to me like a good power adder cam, in a 302 your going to run slower than stock cam and you absolutely will need minimum 3.73s out back. I wouldn't run it, even with a set of good heads (AFR165s or TWs) and intake (Street Heat or Performer).

    Are the Afr 185cc heads to big for a stock 302 short block?

    Are you saying this from experience or hear say? Stock cam opens intake valve 13 degrees after TDC then closes it 44 ABDC, the exhaust valve opens 39 degrees BBDC and closes it 9 degrees BTDC (all at 0.05"). Why do you have to notch the piston when vlv's are no where near piston?

    Are the Afr 185cc heads to big for a stock 302 short block?

    With a stock cam the 2.02 vlv will clear and they are not too big for a stock 302. Go over to Corral.net and do a search for ndpm40, he installed them on a 302 with stock cam and heavily ported stock intake and made more torque and HP from idle up. You won't see much benefit from using them...

    331 or 347 stroker? pros and cons?

    Oil consumption issue is from poor machine work & lack of detail during assembly it has nothing to do with 331ci kit or 347ci kit. My 331ci kit has pin interesecting the oil groove and it had zero oil consumption! A roller rocker broke so I had to tear motor down with just under hard 10,000...

    Cam question

    "your desires for lopey idle AND strong bottom end out of 302 cubes are in conflict with each other" Advance the E303 4 degrees so it's on a 106ICL instead of the 110ICL and you should see gain in torque and idle will get a little rougher.

    Can I learn to port with this?

    Get the straight grinder not the 90 degree. Whatever you do remember that airflow likes straight shots that start out large then taper down to a smaller port, this promotes higher velocity. You also have to make sure each port is as similiar as possible to each other so that they flow the...

    Can I learn to port with this?

    Get an air grinder because that way you can buy a speed controller too. Harbor freight sells a nice one for $40 also goto standard abrasives website they have some info on how to do it.
