I have my sources...you have yours. He knows his shit don't get me wrong but I'd put a 331 in a stock block BEFORE I EVER put a 347 in a stock block any day of the week. Rod angle is Rod angle and a 331 has better a rod angle which produces less side loading of the block which (in a stock 5.0l block) is a major cause of splitting.If you're talking aftermarket blocks....GO BIG OR GO HOME! Stroke it to the moon. IF i were to do it all again, I never would have BOUGHT a stroker motor...I'd be running a 306 on a fogger...but hey, live and learn.Extrude Honing is garbage...if it was free...sure its better than stock but compared to professional hand porting, its crap.and apparently you get free parts and ED CURTIS knows what he's talking about...-Warm Wishes,Ry</blockquote>
