Building new engine thinking of going with a 347 stroker and using a scat cast crank with a 3.40" stroke, 5.315" rod, and the 1.175 compression height but i am unsure about what kind of pistons to use i dont plan on running nitrious maybe a small power adder down the road what style piston do i need also do i need to run a h beam rod if im going to be under 500 horsepower and where is the cheapest place to buy these parts from and stand behind there products

OK another question 347 vs 331 heard good bad about 347 if you dont run a short rod it might burn oil what about power is there a difference?

347, rod size doesn't matter. I'd have Rick91GT on here www. rnhperformance .com build it. Keep it a stock block higher compression combo. If you're going to supercharge it, you really need an aftermarket block. Rick did my 347 4 years ago.
