Yeah, exactly what I'm looking for. Great all around car, street torque monster that sometimes see's the track. I wouldn't mind running low 12's high 11's all motor, and I think it should be possiable from a 347 with decent compression, seeing how I ran a 12.9 with my old motor and still had room for improvement, stock shortblock w/ e-cam, the top end mentioned earlier and pretty much stock fuel system.Rick 91GT said:Like mentioned above it depends what you are after. Those heads are not ideal for a race tye motor but for a healthy street car they will be fine, and it will make a ton of TQ and good hp with the right cam.
If you go with a cast crank go 28oz, if you go forged and Eagle internal balance cranks are available go with that.
I did a 347 with 9.5:1 for another SN guy who put on a GT40- cast iron head and it runs great, it's a tq monster not a high hp dyno queen but it is very nice on the street.
I think what I'm leaning towards after some more reading is the CHP 347 kit, balanced to 28oz with 10.5:1 compression, and running the Comp extreme engery cam http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Search/CamDetails.asp?PartNumber=35-310-8 or http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Search/CamDetails.asp?PartNumber=35-514-8. Unless someone see's a better cam on comps site. http://www.compcams.com/Technical/CamHelp/Default.asp
