Dang, looks like 331 won (26 vs 6) against 306

Guys what i have in mind for block is DSS Bullet block or CHP Street Fighter short block ,
Or meybe even with my block with main suport
This because i'm not that good with $$$
And than i will install Main Gridles and something on top too (i don't remember name, its goes under lower intake on top of block

Yeah 450-500 RWHP/TQ

So looks like 331 won this or what ???

I would NOT trust that kind of power to a stock block that has been "massaged" by one of those companies. Too much money invested into a car to not do it right. You will be walking on egg shells.

Just speaking from what i have read on here.

Eades is making over 600rw on a stock block...no issues to date with his block (ever)
I plan to duplictae is setup...since it is non-band wagon setup (AFR/FTI) and it still makes more power than 90% of this board...muwahahaha

Nope he is on a stock block. I seen that bitch last weekend. I got to ride in it. OMG that car scaried the s-h-i-t out of me. At one point i think I was
perpendicular with the street and whipped the other way to once again be perpendicular with the street. That bastard can drive that's for sure.

Then it must have been his old combo (stock shortblock or something) that blew the block. A few years ago.

I think it had to do with the radiator taking a crap. The AZ summers are nasty. And it was a STOCK crank that went.

Yeah 347 isnt gonna wear out any faster than a 331 thats for damn sure.
Click to expand...


A 347 has a longer stroke. Which means it travels further, up and down, in the cylinder. That means the rings are moving more and eventually wear out quicker. bearing and piston wear would be the same, unless you're running the bottle.

What about when the 331 is revved higher? Or when you have to put a higher gear in the 331 than the 347? Cruising speeds will have higher rpms.....


This argument is pointless. :Track:
