It's a .030" over motor. No one bores .060" over on a stock 302 block and sells it as a crate motor. That guy has no idea what he is talking about. I would walk from that deal. Just so you know, my 347 puts down almost 500hp to the wheels, is 10 years old, and has 85,000 miles on it. A stock 302 block will hold 600hp at the crank pretty well.

after seeing the conversation with the seller.....

I'd run.... just what he said there alone makes me want to punch babies...

I really have some anger issues lately, jesus

my best friend that built this car with me works directly for ford engines out of detroit.

How many engine builders would buy some one else's motor after helping build the rest of the car? Something is not right with that guys info, I doubt he knows what he's talking about. Keep looking.

Sell the bike, save little longer, and then buy this:

I'm still leery of the Aluminator after the thrust bearing/crank walk issues they had been having. The MMR800 is cheaper and probably just as high of quality, otherwise.

To reinforce (in case you're still not sure), I'd RUN from this seller. He doesn't appear to know what he's talking about, as has been well cited above.

FTR, I'm not going to discourage you from getting a 5.0, or even a stroked 5.0 (IMHO you can get a reliable 347 if you build it right, and don't try to wring every last ft/lb out of it, as revhead347 has supported).

But this guy seems to be pumping air up your skirt. Keep looking...

On the bottle. Everyday power is somewhere around 425hp at the crank, maybe a little more. But that's the point. If I spray on the street, it just spins the tires anyway. You can make a very nice 347 that is capable of being plenty ballsy enough for the street, and go up to 600hp for track duty, with a stock block. The last time I sprayed the car was November 2006 when it was on the dyno. It's not my daily driver, so I use it pretty hard on the street, and I still have gotten a lot of miles out of this engine. As far as I can tell, it still runs like new.
