Need Some Help With A Ford Racing Crate Motor

[darooke]

My 1992 fox body vert has The old Ford Racing 347 crate motor(before the boss block). Anyone know the specs? Cast Crank? Rods and pistons? Thank you in advance

Is it the B block 347?
If so I had one years ago, I think mine was a hyper piston setup, not that it mattered the B block didn't turn out to be much if any stronger than a stock block.

Although that engine made a great NA setup, capable of 10's with the right heads, cam intake.

While if I was you i'd like to know too, since it's probably not built with an R block and you already know it's not a boss, it may not really matter what's in it, because you can't push it past 500rwhp anyway.

B block- 2 bolt main block- slighly beefier than a stock 5.0 but certainly not an R or Dart block. It will make good power but as stated know it's limitations.

Thank you for the quick response. I dont know if it is a B block. The previous owner bought the 347 crate motor from ford racing. Does anyone know what If it is a forged crank, pistons and rods?
