.020 over 347
got my 347 out, took it to the machine shop. said apparently it had a lot of dirt in it, so right off the bat they replaced the main bearings, line honed it, resized my rods, and now apparently my cylinder walls are bad so they gotta take it out to .030 over. i was surprised when he said this because i did not know you could make a 347 with just .020 over. is this engine not actually a 347?

okay i will try tomorrow when i goto the machine shop to drop off the windage tray. the machinist called and told me the crank was stamped from 1999 so apparently thats when the currently assembly was put in. i also found a ad for the car from july of last year when the car was still in florida and that said it was a 347 too but i guess its just been a long chain of mis-informed people.

If it is from the year 99 I doubt it is a 347
they really were not all that popular back then with the shorter rod and the motor would most likely us a lot of oil from the pin intersecting the oil ring
