Looking for 347 guidance

TTop1987GT · 08-16-2009

Hi guys,
I plan on building a 347 stroker over the winter for me '87 gt. I will be doing the mass air conversion. I am looking for around 450 hp, and the car will see mostly sunny weather street use.
I plan to buy the shortblock from fordstrokers, and I am unsure which direction the go as far as heads and intake.
Any input is much appreciated,
Thanks

Fordstrokers.com deals with Camshftinnovation.com. He does custom cams, sells heads and just about everything you need to set the top end up correctly. Talk with Woody( Jim @ fordstrokers) and tell him what your goals are. He will set you right.

will you be using any forced induction?

im not 100% sure but it might be hard to reach your goal (450rwhp) n/a

There's TONS of options. I like to give people options, so they can at least price compare.

Yea, I have only heard good things about Fordstrokers, and I am pretty set on going through them. Thanks for showing me what else is out there though.

As far as intake manifold and heads go, what would be the best combo to reach my power goals?

I assure you fordstrokers reputation is better than DSS. Yes DSS has been around, so has Woody. If you'll search, you see DSS is getting sloppy with their work. One guy on this forum had a rod bearing spin, DSS said its because of a HV oil pump. And that's not true. DSS is also saying they won't cover the damage. So my vote is NO on DSS.
