hey guys i have a 83 mustang gt hatchback it has a 302 h.o bored and stroked to a 347. it has a weiand intake and edelbrock carb, stock d8oe heads, double valve springs, t-5, umm whole mallory ignition, 4.11 rearend, and a mild cam (dk the specs on anything i bought it like this) anyway im looking to get more power outta my car and wanna spend less than 2,500 and i saw the edelbrock top end kit on summit for like 1,879 part#edl-2091 and im thinking about buying it but i wanted to get your opinions first. thanks guys

I would imagine any set of alum heads would give you a very large power boost over the stockers you got on there now.

The edelbrock kit may give you more power then just a new set of heads because they make it all to opperate in the same rpm range so the cam/heads/intake will all work together. The came and valve train with the edelbrock set would also be matched up exactly which would provide more efficency and power.

where do you think it would put me hp wise? and where would you think im at right now?

a 347 needs a better h/c/i that what you have picked, don't expect to much may 320 rwhp

h/c/i?? sorry its probably a dumb question lol. im not completely positive its a 347 i know it is .030 over because i had the heads off before ( i was trying the gt40p's) but not too positive about the stroke. how do i check that? darn i wish i coulda built this engine myself to begin with lol it sucks not knowing anything about my engine

use a depth gauge and turn the motor over,viola you just measured the stroke
