Question Looking into 347 stroker longblock

Hello everyone I had a question about buying a 347 longblock and well i have found one that kinda catches my eye http://www.dougherbert.com/dhp347for...th=614_615_750

And was wondering if this is an ok setup for decent power and to last me a long time. I have searched and have not found much, so please give your input im on a budget and can swap motor myself i have never built a engine or messed with internals reason being for wanting a longblock setup built already

Thanks for any help that might be giving

Fordstrokers.com doesnt offer a cookie cutter "one size fits all" engine... but I know for a fact that Jim wil bend over backwards to make sure you have one hell of a product when he's done.... and it will be done right, or he fixes the problems!


Jim, my car might be sold pretty soon... so I may be caling you up about a "top secret" project....

I'm a huge fan of the Machine work done at DSS Racing. I have installed several of their short blocks and purchaced one of their bare blocks for my own build. I've also installed several CHP short and long blocks for customer cars and had no issues. I've never delt with FordStrokers but he has an excellant reputation here and is very knowledgable when it comes to these engines. Because he is so invloved with his customer base here I would say to give him a call. He absolutly knows what he's talking about and specializes in these engines. Reputations here don't come easy and his is solid.
