Tried to post this at the corall as well but wuldnt let me. Kept sayin please dont post spamm...WTF...
Plan to build this for a seriuos street car to be driven occasionally and make a quaterly strip appearance. Mostly just a big boy toy.
347 short block either dss or rebuild with cast or coast kit
Comp Cams magnum hydraulic roller cam and lifter kit
duration 280/280
lift .56/.56
110 degree seperation
Dart Pro 1 aluminum heads
62cc combustion chamber
210 intake 76 exhaust
2.05 intake valve and 1.6 exhaust
Summit stage III intake dual plane
Holley Street avenger 650 cfm Carb
Oh yah I forgot, Late model fox probably 93 hatch...
My desktop engine simulator spits out....
Peak torque of 418@5000 rpm
Peak hp of 485@6500 rpm
Any input yes no or Am I way off on smoe componants? This will be my first major project....And I will have some adult supervision..

RE: First Build 347 please help
combo doesn't seem bad a but I'd put a 58 cc head to have as much compression as you can..I'm more so a fan of comps xe series cams..I have an xe282 cam afr 185's and rpm air gap intake and 650 carb..so your build parrallels mine kind of and I ran 11.79 at 117 so you should have a stout 347

RE: First Build 347 please help
Appears that the guys at fordstrokers.com are quite the stand up type, but I think I would prefer to build my own from start to finish. Im in the Aurora Area (IL) Western burbs of CHicago. So DSS would be no freight necessary. I was planning on buying one of there kits. IF not dss what kits would be recomended? Coast, Scat? What would total machining costs of a used bare block run me (Ballpark, I understand prices vary and u get what u pay for)...

BTW..... wouldn't a single plane with a 750 CFM suit those CID's better? .....the cam is "another 20 bucks" ..... just a thought.

RE: First Build 347 please help
If the car is going to be pretty much strip only, then I would say that a single plane would work just fine, but if you plan to street drive it any, then I would suggest getting an Edelbrock RPM air gap intake. I have one and love it. They are really good from 1500 up to about 8000 RPM, so it should suit your needs well.
Stay away from cams with the same lift and duration for both exhaust and intake. Like mjr46 siad, a comp xe cam (or another brand with a split duration) would be a better choice for you. Its newer technology, and you can make more power over a broader RPM range.
Just my 2 cents worth.
