Well i will just get to the gettin- I have a built 347 mexican block that is hardcore built with all forged internals slight domed pistons, it is hardcore little block. Well i bought the block with big plans to put it in with some AFRs custom cam and make it even better but life has a way of changing your plans for you. Got married bought a house and now am on a very tight budget with the car. But i just happen to have a set of gt40 heads aand a trick flow stage one cam just chillin in my garage. So my question to you guys is this- Is it worth throwing the gt40 heads on and the cam in and intake i have (performer rpm2) with the underdrive pulleys, bbk cai, 70mm t-body, and longtubes that i already have. I mean i know it is going to be choking the motor hard but they put gt40s on 351 lightnings or am i just going to be wasting my time and money with it. And also if i do this what injectors size injectors should i run and any thing else i need to know thanks guys or if any of you read this and want a built 347 block let me know i might sell it for the right price. This is really not what i want to do but the block is just sitting there but dont have the money for $1800 in heads and every thing else i need with it so that wont happen any time soon thanks and sorry for the long winded post.

slap your heads on and run it. It's not ideal but it'll do till you get a better set. If you sell it, find a running 302 for cheap, buy a decent set of heads and cam, and then you'll have some cash left over. I'd buy some 30's for it.

Ya just getting them and telling the wife later will not work. Tried that once before and thought she was going to bury me in the back yard she can be very mean. And every time it seems like i try to save money for something i have to use it for some thing else like tires on my dd or things like that i think i am just going to put the heads i have and cam and rock it. It should make some really good low end power AND JUST FOR YOU CRANE HARDCORE HARDCORE HARDCORE HARDCORE.
