if you are going to do a 347 stroker, you better pick better heads than GT-40's

turbo'd stock mustangs can nearly push the limits of the block or with minor mods. so again what MJR and ADDER said, either aftermarket block if you're going turbo or better heads if you're hittin up the 347.

GT40's are more for a mildly built 5.0

I'd go turbo and at least get a mexican block like everyone says. Especially if you've got the money to do all this anyway.

Good turbo cams are the F cam and the tfs stage one cam. Or you could always do a custom grind.

However if it were me, and I got to start fresh, I'd probalby use 351, those stock blocks are good for lots of power AND you can get a 408...sounds like a win win to me.
