Well it is in and running a 347 stroker in Pop Fun yea.
Had Pauls Auto build a shortblock... all forged internals. Do you know they custom fit/cut each ring?? I didn't know... anyway. Oldest son (Jay)and I took the old engine out about 2 weeks ago. Air tools and a lift what a way to work!! and a master mechanic to boot.

Picked up the new shortblock Wednesday and started install about 5 pm. Had the motor back together Heads/Cam etc and in the car about 11pm that night. This morning started wires transmission etc. Finished around 4pm
Can't wait til I can get it on the dyno and tune it.. They said not to drive it very far without a tune. Also has a new Centerforce so 500 miles of taking it easy.
Was stupid and decided to drive it home from Milford Thursday in the white stuff.... I know not to smart. Made it until I came to my driveway ... got stuck, almost hit neighbors fence Called family and 4 people straighted me out and it is safe in the garage... Dyno coming maybe next week.
Jay degreed the cam and decided to advance it 2 degrees. I know it's not much but maybe I will see it ?? He said 2 degrees is a lot on a bike(he raced motorcycles before kids). Not sure about cars??
Photos to come..

Seems like it. I don't know much about it.. I was there when they had some rings in the cylinders for a test fit. It looked strange to me!!

Compression 10.1- to 1... yes the crank is internally balanced.. Seems like it revs a lot faster with the aluminum flywheel. Course only driven it about 20 miles through the snow so what do I know..

Stock v/c had to beat them out a little and remove the baffle (i think) that was when I did the H/C/I last year.
