RE: best 347 setup!
Ide def use forged parts...sooner or later down the road you are going to want a power adder of some sort...as far as 331 hp potential, its unlimited...MM&FF got 1000hp with 13.5 psi. Its just how you build it. There are a bunch of places to get one, just do a little research on where u can get the best price.

They have good stuff, but there stuff isn't all forged. So I would go with Eagle myself because they are always right to the exact specs that you are suppose to have when doing the preassembly of the engine. Go with forged, it will last longer, which is what you want. If you ever decide to get a blower.

how does that look? along with set of trick flow twisted wedge heads? maybe afr's? trick flow manifolds? when it comes to motor swaps, i don't know too much about the best stuff for fords...so i'm just looking for a little guidance...thanks
edit-if i did decide to go with the dss 331 long block, what else would i need? just wondering b/c 5k is a lot of money if there is a bunch of other stuff i'd need.

RE: best 347 setup!
I got a 331 stroker with AFR 185 Heads. Putting about 400 to the wheels ALL MOTOR with the COBRA Intake (only able to hold about 350HP) and side exhaust that I wil soon change. The 347 are only good for about 20 more HP than the 331s and the 331s are more streetable. If I was you, I would get eveything FORGED, Eagle and make sure you put a girdle on your rockers so you will be safe to spray. NOS or Turbo will work bettet with my Compression rather than a SCer.

ide put a main girdle on before I used a rocker girdle...but as far as hp goes, Ive seen guys get over 500hp on a 331...the funny thing was that it was NA and had low compression pistons!

. The 347 is very streetable all the problems have been fixed, like the oil problems of years ago. Now there is not any problems.
