347's are nice also but when someone tells me they dont want a race car it sounds like someone who wants low maintanace and i dont know if a 347 stroker fits that very well. i could be wrong but a stockish 302 (306) block is good for 100k+ if taken care of. what is the average rebuild or replace done on a 347? can they be rebuilt after? i ask because i have thought about it myself.
Why wouldnt a 347 be rebuildable? I have friends running 331's and 347's for over 6 years. Early 347's had the wrist pin oil problem, most kits(probe for certain) have fixed the problem and now offer offset the piston pins to help with the rod ratio problem that 347's were plagued with in the past. So for a few more bucks go bigger. Take care of your 347 like any other motor and it will last.
how much OS is needed to run a 347 kit?
Thats because people dont stop, if he's ordering a short block he might as well spend the few hundred more and use his current parts and upgrade later. It will still make more HP and lots more torqueI always hear people say its only a couple hundred more for a 347, but like mentioned earlier the kits run for a grand or better and then you have the H/C/I and fuel system to deal with on top of that. By the time you are done you are in 3-4 thousand on top of what a stock rebuild will cost.
My vote would go to a 306/302 with an explorer top end and tfs1 cam. The entire combo can be built and running for under 2k dollars and is an extremely stout street set up.
OS, offset? I'm sure it would depend on the piston brand, most brands will have it listed.
no oversize piston. is it .30 .40 over stock?
