im kind of lookin towards the same thing i want to build a stroker engine(would be my first engine build) i want to try and budget. is using my stock block out of line? whats a good stroker kit to go with? and i want to supercharge after.

why not use a 351 block there you have 351 cubes less machine work means less $$$$$

So instead of going with a 331 and 10+ lbs of boost I could go with a 347 instead and it would be cool?

I'd rather go with a nice strong 351 block with 10 psi..but if your heart is set on a 347 they have become fairly reliable

i was also thinking about the 351 now if i went with the 351 should i stroke it? if i didnt and had a small supercharger with nice set of heads what hp could i be looking at? my car is an 89 should i stick with FI or go carb? what does everyone think about these kits they seem ok and good price?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SB-FO...QQcmdZViewItem
jus want to start this build up so i can be ready for spring. .

First off Jasper... that article on 331 ways to waste an ls1 was a supercharged motor.

Okay secondly, a 331 stroker kit from eagle is nice. You should probably research different companies, like dss, etc. A 331 is better for the lighter cars like mustangs. A 347 will have more torque for the heavier cars.The 347 isn't as reliable as a 331 in the long run. Either motor is a terrific for street cars.

Now as for the budget... good luck.

P.S. The stock headswill have to be at least ported. There is noway you will make power with stock heads and intake. just my 2 cents

would a 351w just bolt on the existing mounts?

notchback50

yes it will bolt up just need a new oil pan to clear and swap headers, and new hood or firgure out how to cram it in there with your stock hood

is this a good deal?

they were just examples. this guy was wanting us to completely make a list of parts that he should buy instead of doing any research at all. and futhermore they say there on a budget, they don't say how much of a budget and won't someone esle to make a list for there 331. strokers aren't cheap plain and simple! if u have to come on here and ask for someone to make u a list of parts ur not ready for a build up like that. u didn't see come on here and ok i am building a 347 tell me everything i should buy. no i surfed the web through numerous articles and decided on parts and then asked opionions. i just recommended them looking at those articles just to show them its not going to be cheap and they have a long road ahead of them.
