We just did the engine bay detail and are starting to install the new 347 stroker motor. It's looking absolutely awesome. We put the headers on and should have the TKO 500 trans connected soon. I had the SC on my old engine, but bought Canfield heads, a custom grind cam, 42 lb. inj, a Pro M 90 MM MAF, Centerline rims, MT drag radials with front skinnies, Wild Rides Battle Boxesand I'm psyched to get this back on the road.

I should have new pics. today.

Got a early model block, Eagle rods, SRP pistons, a SCAT 4340 forgedcrank and was told I'm good well north of 500 RWHP. I'm only running 5 psi of boost.I should be O.K. even if I change the SC or crank pulley for higher boost.

w8less

i would go with almost to the max and run a little bit more boost. why kid yourself you know you will want to turn up the boost

bouchermb

You're probably right and in two to three weeks we'll have everything done.

For now I'll keep things where they are, but I rarely leave things alone for very long.
