You just love Arkansas
If I get the CHP 331 Stroker Kit, im looking into buying the 331ci Street Fighter Kit. Will that kit be good enough???? I just wonder how much HP that kit will hold??I have heard good things from both
If I was to choose (with there similar prices), I would go with C.H.P, with DSS right behind.
I have seen some pretty high dyno numbers out of DSS's stock blocks...that impressed me a bit.
Both from the same town no less.
Keith used to work for Jim Kuntz FWIW.
I always heard that the 331 stroker was more streetable and would last longer than the 347 stroker. I'm probably just going to go with the 331 stroker, but im going to keep an open mind about it though. I appericate everyone giving me there input on this matter.ThanksYeah, a buddy of mine told me about that when I told him I was going with Keith Craft for my rebuild, after listening to youI thought it was interesting. They both do some good work from what I hear as well
Frosty GT - I would go with there complete shortblock as well. It will save you time and money in the long run, along with piece of mindIf planning to stay N/A (stock block especially), I would consider a 347 as well with the 1.175 compression height piston/5.315" rod. Good Luck!
Thanks Everybody!!!!!!!!!Only the right builder can alleviate the 'infamous' 347 problem. Not all 347 combinations are corrected. The use of proper tolerances, oil support ring orientation, skirt design, all become something that needs to addressed. To tell someone it is a wives tale, is a bit misleading. Then again, telling someone that 347's are junk, is along the same lines
Frosty GT - Read the link in my signature for some information on the differences. It may help your choice. Either way, you have a mustang and your wanting to pick a nice combination of partsSeems like you are on your way
Now, the 347 does have a slightly worse rod/stroke ratio, but it is extremely small. Back in the day, with the 3.4" stroke (347), rotating assembly manufacturer's only made a short piston (1.090") that had the wrist pin interesecting into the oil ring land. This causes some unneccessary blow-by at the time. Now, companies like CHP (Probe products), DSS, have created a shorter rod, 5.315" instead of the old 5.4", which in turn let's one use a taller piston, a 1.175". By doing this, they kept the same 3.4" stroke and with the taller compression height piston (1.175"), it kept the wrist pin and the oil ring land from intersecting. Therefore, it is designed like the 331 or 302
I would go with a 331 if you want to be different, which is totally cool! Or if you want to go with high boost or nitrous use later...
Either way, you pay for it, and you get what you want. Whatever makes you feel at ease.
