Well right now i have a 347 in the stang. It has sat pretty much this whole year. I was doing some changes here and there. Added a blower then took it off and sold it. Im thinking about pulling the motor and parting it out and starting with a fresh motor. The motor only has around 12k on it but i bought it already built from someone. This way if i build it I know whats in the motor from the start. What do you guys thing I should do just leave it or part it and start a new motor

Start saving parts for the new engine. Have fun trying to break the one that's in there. The heads and stuff will still be good (and re-sellable) for parting out.

I have a list what the engine had in it Id have to find it somewhere. I dont think id sell my heads and upper and lower intake. Not sure what a 347 Shortblock goes for used now days.

Spiff~Im located in Clinton Twp Michigan about a half hour away from detroit

I have a Trickflow Stage two cam thats sitting around and the Stage one is in the car right now.
Spiff~ I guess throw me an offer and we can go from there if someone is interested.
What do you think a set of used Trickflow TW Heads go for it shows on the sheet that they have CNC combustion Chambers as well. I have a set of 1.7 Rockers laying around and a set of 1.6 rockers on the heads right now

Whats the point on selling it to build another motor? Will the new motor be dart block based? If not, save your money and time and enjoy what you have, add some n20 if your getting bored with it.

A turbo will satisfy any power and/or other needs you will ever have with your car.
