i'm doing so looking in to 347 crate engs and turbo set ups but i'm having a hard time finding some 347 (ready to drop in crate engs) there all eather way over the top (600hp) and to much cash or not enuff power.
i would be looking for something that would get me in the sold 12's or maby even high 11's for 4,000 to 5,000
does any one have any sugg.

Ive got a Coast High Performance 347 crank kit, very high quality parts, and they sell short, or long blocks, with your choice of heads. Check out their web sight

I got my kit from CHP as well. You could get the FRPP whort block throw on some good heads and good induction and exhaust and you should have a solid 12 second car there.

My CHP 347 was built to about 400-450 HP. I drive mine everyday to work(20miles one way). They can be built in any configuration that you want. Mines a TFS headed,10:1, stock block. with main support.

Early 347's used a 5.4 inch center to center rod, which put the piston pin into the oil conrol ring area, these early motors tended to use oil and smoke a bit, CHP motors use a 5.315 rod and Probe piston which keeps the pin out of the ring area. I dont know if other engine builders incorperate this in their motors, definitely something to consider before purchase.. Ihavn't been to the track with mine yet, so I wont blow smoke up yer ass, as to what it might run. All I can tell you is it makes tons of power and torque

Usually, the customer supply's the intake, but Im sure that if you want a particular intake they can supply that for you too. There engines fit any combo, carb or EFI
