help me build a setup for a 347 stroker!

wgpaintballer · Jan 3, 2006

I am a newb. i need some help with putting a 347 setup together? cam, heads, intake, throttle, fuel, headers, mass air, that kind of stuff.. all comments are welcomeded.. even if u post your setups that will help... looking for around 400hp.. if thats even possible.

Is this a street car or weekend warrior? Manual or Automatic? Will the car be NA, boosted or N2O, think about the future as well? Budget?

400RWHP is very obtainable with a 347 stroker combo, I have built quite a few. If I can be of help let me know...

If its gonna be a n/a street car heres my suggestion. Shoot for 10.5-11:1 compression, use victor jr heads, victor 5.0 intake, 90mm tb, 1 3/4" longtubes, 3" exhaust, custom cam from FTI or hitech motorsports, 36-42lb injectors, shift at 6800-7000. 425rwhp will be cake walk with this combo. Use an aluminum flywheel, 4.10-4.30 gears.

Afr 185's or ported twisted wedge heads will run well too. I like the jr's as IMO they're a good bang for the buck.

This guy made 445rwhp and (more importanly) ran 10.90's @ 124 shifting at a low 6400 rpm due to some sort of issue. http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2005/02/YellowFever/index.php

My track times suck due to my bad driving and no where near enough rear gear. 3.73's are killing me, I need 4.30's.

There is a lot to running 10's in a 3200lb car like above (sn95's race weigh)...lots of suspension work/tune/good driving.

If you want a more streetable version that doesn't make such peak power. I would go with AFR 185's, TW's with a custom cam (your pick). Keep your accessories. Run an RPM II manifold and get some 373's or thereabout because there isn't much difference in either gear around that in performance.

It's all in how streetable you want it...what do you want to give up?

Well about to go finish up buddies 2.73 to 4.10 swap...

By more streetable, you mean my setup... the someone that i strap my daughter into with her car seat and go to BestBuy... isnt gonna do it?

follow mikes recipe. Talk to rick in the 2nd post, he built Mikes and Mine motors.

What?

Anyways, I mean by keeping accessories (a/c and powersteering), keeping solid vaccum for power brakes, and 373's or thereabout in the gears.

No need to rev to 2,800rpm on the i-state at cruise with no a/c or powersteering and have "sucky" brakes just to get a couple more mph.

N8Miller · Jan 4, 2006

i have all power options, good brakes and lots of power.

you said that if he wanted a more "streetable" version compaired to Mikes advice, not to use the vic jr heads, etc etc.... ie: smaller parts. I was simply stating that with my "less streetable" parts that i can get my daughter in the car and go places that i want to...... no problems.

hrspwrjunkie · Jan 4, 2006

If all you want is 400 horses, there is a cheaper way than building a stroker. Ultimately, a stroker built to those specs is going to be more cantankerous with a stock 5.0 computer than a moderately tweaked 5.0 with a small blower. I know that Richard Holdner put together just such a mild combination in his book 5.0L Ford Dyno Tests using a mild (and quiet) Powerdyne supercharger.

It's an effective and easier way to reach your 400 horse goal.

wgpaintballer · Jan 4, 2006

but the problem is that i want around 400 then in like a year throw on a sc

wgpaintballer- I responded to your e-mail this morning, I saw you just sent a PM but my box was full. I just emptied it or you can e-mail me at Rick91GT@suscom.net which is easier for me.

Read into it a bit more

I was responding to grn92's advice. His examples didn't have all power options.

His sn95 example running 10's had a lot to do with weight reduction/suspension (1.4 60fts)/driver. Not just "engine combo".

I wasn't responding to your car/engine.

Don't buy a kit, let the builder do all of that.

Cant go wrong with twisted wedge 205 11r heads with an Ed Curtis cam (flow tech induction)

My 347 is still the same short block from when I originally replied to this thread in 2006
