I know how to build motors.
More reliable. I've heard too many horror stories about 347s and given if they are true or not I rather not find out the hard way.
I know how to build motors.But thanks for the info.
:
Just going by what I heard. The oiling issue and my engine builder says they have a problem with putting more stress on the sides of the clyinder walls because of the extra stroke. I'm not saying any of these are true I just do not want to find out myself and this combo is gonna make more than enough power for now so I will not miss the 16cid difference.
Cute picture though.
Engine assembler?.... yes...... engine builder?....Just going by what I heard.

Engine assembler?.... yes...... engine builder?..... Here's a little question you could ask him...... why do SBC 454's, Ford 300 I-6's and Toyota's 1.8L 3-TC (as examples), can last well over 200k miles w/out any "stress on the sides" issues?
Yep........Are we talking Rod/Stroke ratio here? Its that which determines rod angularity, and thus, piston side loading. Most people say that you are fine with 1.5 R/S and higher, I believe most 347 kits are around 1.6...
I think that is probably the direction you're taking, correct me if you had something else in mind.
I have seen a lot of people giving 347s a bad rep lately, and I don't quite know why.
Your happiness with your 331 stroker or settling for less performance potential is not in question, using the wrong information to base your choice, and to continue patronizing such a myth....... is.Stopsign32v said:lol guys I could care less...I'm perfectly happy with my 331 stroker.

Grab a tissue. It will be ok.I never stated the issues with the 347 was true I simply said that I did not feel like building a 347 because of it. I've never heard a negative thing about the 331 so I went that way.
