ive been looking at this for quite some time. and 351s. but id hate to have to lose my longtubes and custom x pipe for a 351.

so anyway, ive read up on 347s a bit, about the oil burning problem...

does the Ford shortblock have that problem? its advertised in summit. but not jegs.

has anybody had any problems with them? how are the supplied parts in it?
heres the ad as it reads..

"The fully assembled short block features a 2-bolt main block, a 3.40" stroke nodular cast iron crank, SAE 4130 forged steel connecting rods, Federal mogul rod, main, and cam bearings, and 4.030" bore hypereutectic pistons with valve reliefs. When used with 60cc heads, it makes 10.4:1 compression. The bottom end is balanced for a 28.2in./oz. early style damper and flywheel. Add your heads, cam, and timing chain set, and sit back and feel the power"


how well would that go with my twisted wedge heads?
and if i reuse my 24lb injectors, and full msd ignition.

this will/would be my daily driver.

thanks for the input
