347 stroker prices, good kits

EXTRPR50 · May 16, 2006

Hey, Ive decided to go with a stroker kit for my 95 GT. Now, I dont think I need a forged crank of high dollar items in it. Im really using it as a second car to play in. I dont need a shortblock, cuz Im going to build it myself using a block Ill get from somewhere. And the heads, Im still undecided on.
So with that who has a kit to suit my needs at the best price?
Thanx

For your needs, i'd go with the scat 9000 cast steel crank kit from adperformance.com for $999. Thats what I use except I went with light weight probe rods. They're for high rpm n/a engines.

Have it balanced to 28oz and use a fidanza aluminum flywheel and a light weight romac balancer.

To add to this, I priced out a 347 stroker from a good local guy engine builder who does a lot of racing motors and marine engines. I talked to him today and he's adament about only using Scat cranks (forged or cast) and SRP pistons I don't remember which rods he uses (I think SRP). The total cost for the shortblock which would inlude machining and everything for the stock block came out to be $1900. That pirce also includes the re-balancing of the stock flywheel and a new (proffesional products) balancer So I'm gonna do mine through those guys. Then he said to add $150 for clearance checking and assembly if I wanted it.

ok let me get this right. A 347 if built using a stock 302 block right? If so what all is done to it to make a 347? I'm confused because when you bore one you get a 306. Wheres all them extra cubes coming from?

stroker crank....

89white50 · May 16, 2006

longer stroke crank, longer rods, shorter pistons (piston pin hieght is moved towards top of piston). the block needs to be clearanced (wall skirts need to be shave) so the rods bolts and stuff wont smash it.

ok say I want a 347 would this stuff work?

TFS TW Heads
TFS Stage 1 cam
TFS Street Heat Intake
75mm TB

And what size Inj's, MAF would I need?

Also does normal 302 U/d Pullies work or wouldn't I need them? Balancer and all that other kinda BS stuff do I need.

THe "kit" comes with a crank and pistions and all that good stuff correct?

Trying to get an idea on price incase I have to rebuild. Not sure what I want yet but I've seen people mention you might as well go 347 then anything else cause your only paying a little more

Contact Kevin for your Scat rotating assembly needs. His prices and service are second to none. I'm running Scat forged crank and rods along with SRP pistons in my new combo from him.

The piston makes a longer stroke ... thus the reason ...............

everybody calls em STROKERS

A 306 uses the same amount of piston travel so the extra cubes come from additional bore only.

Not the best induction package for a 347. You won't make much more than 315rwhp. You can use those heads but pick a good cam and manifold. A holley would be a nice choice.

so If I wanted to stick wth my Intake I'd be better off with a 306? Then would all that stuff be ok?

mricci · May 17, 2006

One thing i think is important to remember wtih strokers or 351w motors is a lot of the stuff people have is made for a little 302, so you need to get bigger stuff if you want to make the most out of it.

You'd still be better off building a stroker. You get a nice foundation to which you can improve down the road. You'll still have more power across the board with a 347 over a 306. If you dont have the induction parts yet, just get the right ones come stroker time. Don't settle for mediocrety.

money is also a big factor with me. I don't have a lot to spend and I was hoping to stick with some stuff i already have. My intake isn't that old. I don't know I just need to get over this damn illness and tear my motor down
