Well i have had my 95 gt for a few months now and i am planning on making some more power this fall/winter. It is my daily driver (except in the winter). I want to put down some decent power without going too crazy. At first i was just thinking of doing an h/c/i or supercharger but then i thought maybe i should do a 347 h/c/i. I am thinking of getting a shortblock from someone (emailed rick but he is on vacation so i dont expect a reply immediately). About how much im a going to expect to pay for an assembled 347 shortblock? I dont think i need the high dollar parts (forged crank etc) as i am not going to put any type of power adder on at at all and i am not going to try and rev it high, its just going to be a good street n/a 347. Is there any chance @ spending around 2k for an assembled shortblock? I am looking @ ebay and classifieds daily and i have found a few on ebay just curious on your thoughts about them http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/302-331-347-Ford-Short-Block-Mustang-Engine-Stroker-TRE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33615QQihZ019QQitemZ8035585499QQrdZ1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/STROKER-302-331-347-SMALL-BLOCK-FORD-SHORTBLOCK_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33615QQihZ019QQitemZ8075069847QQrdZ1 i also see keith craft has a shortblock for 1900
I am thinking of doing an h/c/i similar to something like the tfs kit or afr heads but will talk with engine builder about there reccomendations and maybe even go w/ custom cam if it makes much difference. I know i will need the supporting stuff like injectors maf fuel pump etc and i plan on getting a afm pms, wideband and maybe something to datalog with we will see when the time comes. My t5 already grinds 2nd when i rev it high so i am thinking of putting g force gears in it to handle the power. So what do you guys think about the shortblocks i posted or any other input? I am not doing this immediately as it will be the fall/winter by the time i get the money to do everything.
