Progress Thread 96pushrods 347 build - Dyno results in!!

96pushrod · Aug 23, 2018

Hey all,

I’m beginning my car build today. Got a 347 from fordstrokers, big shout out to Woody and Nicole. I wouldn’t want to go through anybody else.

Car is a 96 v6 model that has been set up for a 302.

Car will have an Astro a5, which I have already picked up.

Engine is a dart block, trickflow 205 11r, Callie’s crank, scat h beams, wiseco pistons. Built to handle some good power.

I’ll be updating as often as I can.

Edit:: Cars almost done.

You are starting off with a what should be a bulletproof long-block.

any plans for a power adder later on?

I’ll be adding a nitrous kit along the road, my buddy fabs custom turbo piping so that’s also an option. With 10.8:1 compression I’m probably just gonna run it with a 150 shot for a bit.

96pushrod · Aug 23, 2018

Only worked for a couple hours today. Got all the harness and what not disconnected along with other miscellaneous crap and ac lines.

Engine will be coming out next Monday as I work during weekends.

Sweet, using stock ECU with a tune?

96pushrod · Aug 23, 2018

Yessir, sticking with the t4m0. Gonna have it tuned by Tony at tuners inc, Just gonna have a chip done.

Man, Im jealous of that engine. I also have a Woody 347 that I bought used, but it only has baby Trickflow 170's on it and a stock block. I'll be following your build, I like SN's.

Thanks man, I’m definitely loving the engine so far. I glad I do after all I’ve put into it as far as the block and all the supporting parts. I had matt moss port the lower intake as well. Pretty much no expense was spared on the build.

We’ll see what it puts down. The cam seems a little on the small side for what I’m going for, but the dyno will tell me everything I need to know.

a91what · Aug 24, 2018

Lol I run just about the same cam in my 302.
57x lift 224 236 @50 114lsa

Custom cam for my m112 5.0 blower build... Idles like a stock cam sounds good power everywhere.

Gonna seem small in a 347 methinks.

96pushrod · Aug 25, 2018

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I was at least thinking the Duration would be a bit longer, maybe a hair bit more lift as well.

Oh well, I’m sure it will run and idle well. It will be good to have a cam that plays nice while I get the engine initially fired and broke in

NIKwoaC · Aug 25, 2018

That's gonna be a badass engine, can't wait to see it all together!

96pushrod · Aug 28, 2018

Got the old motor and trans out today, exhaust as well. Just waiting on headers to slam the new one in

95BlueStallion · Aug 28, 2018

Awesome progress. How are your mounts? Still good from the original swap?

96pushrod · Aug 28, 2018

The rubber mounts still held good, I have a tough time justifying not replacing them when I'm in the area though lol. I'm going with poly mounts everywhere this time around. I figure with a little more twist it would be beneficial to stiffen things up a bit.

Was one of the smoother pulls I've done. The only thing that gave me grief was one of the PS pump bolts. I had to grind one of those suckers off. Definitely going with ample amounts of anti seize this time around.

That and the Georgia heat can be a bitch.

RIP old exhaust. Anybody need an x pipe? Haha

95BlueStallion · Aug 29, 2018

Not reusing those equal length shorties are you? Ive never used them personally, but hear they can be a PITA to work around.

96pushrod · Aug 29, 2018

The equal lengths never bothered me. I’m putting in some that will be even more fun to work around....Long tubes.

96pushrod · Aug 29, 2018

Had to do some clearance for motor mounts. Also, front sway bar is hitting the front drain plug. Probably gonna cut and weld it.

95BlueStallion · Aug 29, 2018

Weird, I would have thought the block would be designed around atock type mounts. Kudos getting it in already.

96pushrod · Aug 29, 2018

Thank you. Not bad for just me working on it.

It’s fairly common on dart blocks to have to do a little massaging around the mounts. They’re pretty beefy.

I wanted my accessory brackets, coolant tubes and water neck to match the valve covers and upper intake. Hit them with some black wrinkle. You’ll notice I also lopped off the smog pump mounts. No need for that extra

96pushrod · Sep 3, 2018

Got the torque box reinforcements in today as well as the fuel pump. I think I set a record for quickest fuel pump install lol. Got pics of the torque box plates. I did uppers and lowers. Figured y’all know what a fuel pump looks like so I didn’t bother with pics of it.

All I’ve got to do is a wideband, then just waiting on intake and headers to finish the build.
