Default WooHooo ordered me a 347 Longblock

I had lots of problems with a used motor I bought. 16 bent pushrods, 7 dead lifters, 4 dead cylinders and more. After finding the dead cylinders I decided enough was enough and I wasn't going to sink money in a motor I had no history on. So I decided why not just make my dreams come true. I went ahead and called up Jim at Fordstrokers and talked to him for a bit. I ordered myself a 347 Stroker NA setup. I got the Longblock with TFS 190cc fast as cast heads and going with a custom Jay Allen cam. I am so excited...too bad I have to wait 8-10 weeks I paid in full so hopefully it will be closer to 8 weeks then 10. Hah. So now I have to take the old motor out. Least now I will have the time to clean the engine bay up and clean/paint brackets and such for the new motor. Thanks for listening!

One of their 347's with the 190 FAC heads should be a nice little engine!
