Yes you can

Depends on how you treat it

Why on earth would you go to the trouble of building(?) a 347 and then throw an E-cam into it? Go to FTI's website and fill out their cam form.

Yes, you can run the E303 cam in a 347 but why would you want to do that except if you desperately need to save money by avoiding a cam change? A custom cam is the way to go and I'm sure Ed Curtis, Jay Allen, or Buddy Rawls would fix you up with one.

I wish the Alphabet cams were never even invented. Don't E-cam a 347 please, don't B-F for that matter. You want a custom cam for that motor. Mine has a Comp custom split duration .542 / .562 Lobe 114, it's sick.

A 347 won't sound like this with an E-cam.

IF you run 302 parts on a 347 you will get 302 rwhp numbers lol .. Your heads ,cam and intake need to be upgraded with a 347 to get that 400 rwhp mark

+1000 on what everyone is telling you. If you don't have the money to spend on a 347 top end, don't bother wasting money on a 347 bottom end. E cams are really only good as nostalgic table legs for your living room. Edelbrock performer heads barely qualify as 302 heads.

I would say AFR185s or Trick Flow 185s. There are a lot of good mid level heads that will work really well.

I ran AFR 185's, Holley Systemax Intake, Custom Comp Cam, 70MM TB, Pro-M 80MM Mass Air, 30lb Injectors, 1-3/4" Ceramic Long Tubes w/ 3" Collector, MAC 3" Prochamber, MAC 3" Cat Back. Over do it on your 347 and it will respond with huge numbers. Put 302 stuff on a 347 and you'll get stock numbers.
