I was thinkin about rebuildin my 94 stang down the road shortly and was lookin around and found this scat 347 kit

It's 699.99 i was wondering would it fit with all my currently stock components and what the install cost would be and what kind of horsepower and torque to expect...ANY OPINIONS GREATLY APPRECIATED thanks.

BTW i know it wuold be restricting the engine with stock heads intake etc..but i wanna rebuild and go bigger for the future

something cant be right with that price. most high quality kits go for at least $1400. personally i would go a standard bore setup which would make it a 342. the reason is if you have need to bore the block you still have room. if you have it at the .030 your just shortening its life before needing to get a standard bore block. my setup is a 342 which is a 4 inch bore. your heads definitely will restrict the engine. it probably wont even run right. those heads are already restrictive on a stock 302 let along going 40 more cubes. i would save up and get the kit but also a different set of heads and a good cam.

The 9000 series crank is only a cast crank. The rods are only "I" beam rods and the pistons are KB Hypereutectic. All these piece are fairly inexpensive is why the price. They are good parts, nothing wrong with the quality.

justnlx got it . cheap parts but will work fine completely NA, i'd stay away from nitrous even though you'd be fine probably anyway. personally i would build a more solid foundation for the future.
