I’ve got a 347 in the works and I went with the 205cc 11r trickflows. I’m sure a lot of others will agree it’s a great head. Afr heads are always good too. Either would be a great step up from gt40p. Shoot I run those on a 302 and I wish I had more head lol.

I’d look at another cam too. Although the x303 is one of the better alphabet cams for a stroker, there are much better ones out.

Definitely go with 205cc. You could do 190, but 205 is better imo.

If you want to go off the shelf, try a comp xe274hr or 282hr if you have a manual or a higher stall converter. They’re pretty popular grinds for a 347.

Any reason you’re set on an alphabet cam? Comp cams and Anderson cams technically start with a letter if the alphabet lol.

There are so much better sticks you can buy for your money over the ford cams.

The 'letter ' cams are old school, they work but todays cams have more technology behind them

So the 284hr would be a good choice with a 5 speed

Yeah the 282 would be great for a 5 speed car. If I wasn’t going custom, for a street car, that would be a great cam.
