Not overly likely. +by the time I need them, I will just want to be done!I figured you had seen those before, hell by the time you get to needing them you will be able to fab em up yourself

I alteady have a megasqirt system, but am relying on a tuner as I don't have the aptitude as @a91what or @hoopty5.0 with those things. I intend to learn it, but you know.
As for the boss block, they are very strong, but the cylinder sleeves are too short for a proper stroker. This causes problems in that aspect. If you want a stock stroke engine they are fine, but i just can't limit myself like that. Dart all the way for me.
I didn't know that. Not like I'm buying something tomorrow, or even next year though. Probably will be dart for me too.
I really dig the coyote, but something about a pushrod motor that has been bored and stroked gets me all hot and bothered.Coyote and a Blower
Who knows man, maybe someday.
I hear that it might be better to build a really badass 347 when it comes to durability.
That's where @Boosted92LX and the others expertise comes in. Sadly I've only had cammed up bolt on cars with stock blocks :-(
I kind of like the way the green bondo goes with the red car!
That's it for me today, I told my daughter I would make her chocolate chip pancakes this morning. Anybody else up for some?
Put some small details of that color along the weld lines when you're done. Then detail some small portion of the engine with it.

Well there are two ways to build a 347. If you want durability, you have to go big bore route. Typically a 347 is a 302 bored .030 with a 3.400 stroke. These work, but are harder on parts. For durability use a dart block with a 4.125 bore and 3.250 stroke. This will get you to 347 cubes with the reliability of a 331 due to less rod angle and side loading of the piston.
I plan on 3.400 stroke and 4.125 bore which = 363 because I don't put a lot of miles on it.
My youngest son's favorite color is green, so there will be a green accent somewhere on the vehicle.
I don't really understand the whole "build" vs "progress" thread. Maybe when I have the motor in it and it runs, the powers that be can change it to a build thread. For now it can be called a "whatever" thread.
God knows they have the ability to put a ct on you when you say something stupid!
The larger bore 347 will be my direction someday. Hopefully about this time next year I'll get the block and start the build (progress?) thread on that,
I will want to go with really nice parts, so it might take a while. That'll be ok though, my car will be running by then.
The t56 magnum also makes me hot and bothered. I'll probably end up spending more on that drive train than I will on the entirety of Doby's build up to that point.
I know you are a forced induction guy, but bringing the compression up to 11-1 sounds interesting to me. If the coyotes can do it, maybe I'll be able to.
I've been fortunate enough to have gotten by with the dumb things I say/or to not have had said anything CT worthy lol
Unfortunately for me, I'm filled with stupid things to say.......There you go @madmike1157 ,@Noobz347

No idea. Been planning it a while. But i keep getting sidetracked.
