I dare you.
But for slightly more, if any, you can have 5% more cubic inches....jetuomi said:you can make about 1.1 hp per CID so 331 has about 10% more power than a 302..
wtf is that supposed to mean?sirsureshot39 said:yea but but but.....uhhhh....
maybe because of the hype. and i recently seen the follow up on the " 331 ways to beat a Ls1". and i probably don't won't to spend another 500 or so on a 347(pro). the people at dss themselves even seem that they aren't to trusting of anything but the 331(pro).Joes95GT said:Please, no one take offense to this:
Why a 331?
Joe
i was wrong. the prices on the 331(pro) and the 347(pro) are identical. but i think that having a longer rod will have a tendency to break.in the links you gave me, none of those engines where cheaper pro vs pro(mid grade) than the dss engines, so do a check and see it yourself.Grn92LX said:Look at other companys. You can get a 347 stroker shortblock cheaper from www.horsepowerengineering.com or www.coasthigh.com The price is the same for a 331 vs 347. Then it becomes 347 ways to smoke an LS1Dont beleive the "347's are bad for the street" hype you'll hear on the net. Its ALL in the machine work and build. God I want a 347 so bad I can taste it
Grn92LX said:Your very wrong palFor a 347 shortblock built by HPE using the probe/coast high kit erik quoted me about $2200 WITH a main support. .... Believe me dude, I researched my balls off on this. I found these 2 places to be one of the best and affordable. .....
My friend, you just bought into their marketing hype. Do you ever realize that DSS are the only people that really push the 331 over the 347.chrismillion said:maybe because of the hype. and i recently seen the follow up on the " 331 ways to beat a Ls1". and i probably don't won't to spend another 500 or so on a 347(pro). the people at dss themselves even seem that they aren't to trusting of anything but the 331(pro).
Youre talking about the 185's if I wanted a 347?Nik_95Cobra said:What about a 342? Never hear anything written up about those. And Rob, check out the AFR 185 Stroker heads on the FTI site. They're about what you'd want to run.

Since you researched this, can you tell me what heads you think would go best with that 347, and if you know the TOTAL price for the WHOLE long block?
Reason I'm asking:
If something on my engine blows, instead of spending $$$ here and there for fixes, I will just sell the Vortech, and get a great N/A setup. I would only be able to spend about $3k(plus what I get for the Vortech). I want to go with a 347 that I could "pound on" ANYTIME I want without worrying about blowing anything..but still stay ahead of the newer cars coming out. It would cost me more than I want to spend to do the other mods to convert to a 351.
I would appreciate NE info you have...
OH btw...could I keep my 70mm TB

Grn92LX said:How much power do you wanna make? If your using a stock block i'd use an FTI stroker prepped 185 head with a TFS R or a victor intake and around 10.5-11:1 compression. I'd also look into a victor jr head. If your gonna build up a aftermarket block like a dart, i'd use NO less than an afr 205 and rev it a little higher. 1 3/4" longtubes and reuse your old injectors unless you do option 2 then upgrade to a 42lb.
No, you'll need a 65mm tb since those "big" heads kill all your velocityj/k!
