    347 Stroket VS. 357W (.030 over)?

    Any advantage other than reliability for going with the 357W over the stroker? i've seen short blocks priced higher for the sroker motor than the 357 from the same company. I'd rather go with the 357 but if the 347 can make the same power and use my stock hood, mores the better. any thoughts?

    AFR ?

    anytime you put in 2.02 and 1.60's you need fly cust pistons to allow for valve clearance on our littl 289's. TF allows a bigger cam than the AFR (AFR only allows a max of .550 lift) but the TF needs a bigger cam to keep up. meaning you will get a little more hp and tq from the AFR's but the...
