I'm thinking of a good 331 or 347 stroker. Smedding, T&L, or Ford Strokers. Does anyone have experience with any of these suppliers that can give me feedback?

ford strokers does a very good job and haven't really heard any bad from anyone. also check out Keith Craft another well built engine and gets good reviews. these are my 2 choices anyways.

your call but there are better motors for the money.Example Keith crafts 347 has more hp @ lower rpms and better torque curve than the Ford racing motor + better parts and a dart sportmans block although the boss block is good too but thier price with all the better parts is even cheaper than ford racing. so for a little cheaper or about the same price maybe has your guy can get the ford motor you can get 25 more hp + 15 more ftlbs of torque + or - depending on you set up and tune + better parts but in a better rpm range and curve. IMHO I would shop some more, even Rick and RNH could build you better motor for the money.

I am not a big fan of the 3.4" stroke on a FORD BOSS block, the cylinders are a little too short IMO, and I feel the DART blocks are far superior.

Ford offered a 3.25" stroke 331 and a 3.4" stroke 347, not aware of any 4.125" bore stuff from them.
