I think you should just save yourself a whole lot of time, tons of headaches, and quite a bit of money.... and just buy my engine.

Stick to your 331 plan, put a set of AFR comp. 185 heads with the 8019 spring upgrade, Holley, trick flow r or edelbrock rpm II intake, comp cams 35-522-8 cam, 30 lbs & 70mm tb. and be done. This is pretty much what I run and I still get over 20 mpg and run 11.70's @ 116 with no power adder. You need the velocity of the 185 heads, to move our heavy sn95's. My car put 372 rwhp & 360 trq. on a mustang dyno.

Im doing it bit by bit though. i don't have the $$ to just drop it in one lump sum. How much are you asking though?

I have been chatting with him quite a bit. I could do a 351 stroked.....hmmm It is a thought... I would have to go a more free flowing intake and def AFR 205's if i went that route!!

$3800.00 you'd get everything from the intake manifold, down. drop it in and crank it up.

I have come to a conclusion. There is no reason for me to stroke the stock block. I would hate to spend all that money and then something happen to it. If i can't save up enough for a Forged block. I'll just have it re honed and re ringed. Throw some E street heads on there and the TF intake i have and call it a day.

Sounds like a good solid setup.

Yeah i did a lot of reaserach on a stock block with a stroker kit and just it seems that the bad outweigh the good with some 347 kits having oiling issues. Even though they claim they don't have them people report having it burn oil and not being such a nice DD. With the 331 i figured there is just no reason to go to all that trouble without upgrading the block. So that's that

dude, you are reading some OLD ass info. My 347 uses a 331 piston... you gonna sit there and tell me that My car burns oil because its a 347?

you need to wake up. When running a stroked 302, the only reason to run a 331 is if you are in a CID limited race class, or if you want to make less power.

Did i say your car burned oil NO I DIDN'T

Obviously you need to wake up and read more thoroughly before posting..... You should be able to see " SOME" in my post.

Re: Collecting parts for a 331 Build. Come on in and Help!!!!

you are comparing apples to oranges though... choosing to go with an inferior engine jest because the OLD style 347 had problems.... thats just silly.

build a 347, run a short rod setup. It uses a 331 piston. You wont have any oil burning issues, and you will make more power, for the same amount of money



or just buy my engine..

If you have it in 6 months i shall. but i highly doubt that so

If i can sell my stuff and when i get my tax's back.. i'll just go with a 351w F4TE block from FordStrokers and try to snag a 408 stroker kit

Yeah i reallt thought about it and so what it will take me over a year to finish it.

Figure a 351 stroked to a 408 and AFR225's should be a good combo.

 

[5.0kid]

ya with a 408, def go with 225s over 205s...should be a sweet build and car once its done!

 

[Suspect]

if your staying NA go with the bigger heads. if it takes a little longer to buy better parts then so be it.

i just got mine all planned out. should be lots of fun. cant wait!! :thumbsup:
