really not trying to sound like a dick or anything... but, to me, it seems as though you are wasting ALOT of money

corvette killer

being a vette killer is a broad term..meaning as to which vette you anticipate killing???.....IMO there are to many vettes out there to go after and all at different levels......and please post in appropriate sections, the 5.0 tec section is not a place for such threads....Gen disc is

your gonna need some nasty heads to run with a c6 might be able to get away with a N/A motor with a c5 non z06.

Budget build FTW!!

347 would be a better build than a 331 IMO. Please tell me you weren't planning on putting this H/C/I on that build.

Why don't you wait until next month and put the GT40ps on instead of those crapy E7s? That intake elbow that came off the upper plenum on the 40 intake isn't needed.

DO NOT put in a H/V oil pump!

the name Corvette Killer came from my dad. when i was young he took me to alot of drag races and around our area was a 92 mustang with a 351 (idk his specs bc i was too young) that called himself the Vette Runner, and had it across his wind shield. he was known for outrunning corvettes and would run anything that would line up beside him and most times he would win. when i was car shopping, my dad was with me and the car reminded him of the old mustang we used to watch run. and i figured i would call my project the Corvette Killer. i dont plan on running JUST vettes, but ive loved Ford all my life and have always enjoyed the heated rivalry with Chevy. thought the name kinda fit

i was plannin on building a 347 but ive helped way too many of my buddys drop one in, just to turn around a month later to help them pull it bc they've cracked the block. i think goin to 347 just takes away too much of the block integrity. and hell no this H/C/I wont be going on my 331.

bc ive had the car sitting for over 3 months and this weekend is really the only weekend i have off for awhile. and im really needin my car running again to use as my DD. ive been using my buddy's truck, but he needs it back. i have to shop the car next month anyway to put a new tranny in so ill just do it then.

wats wrong with the H/V pump?

There was a chick that had a gen 1 vette I forget her name but on the back bumper of her car she had pin striping that said, "If you beat me you can eat me" pretty hot chick too.

Even with a 331 stroker kit you'd still have to bore the block. Why would you use a stock block with a stroker build? (they must have built some pretty amazing 347s)

Nothing is wrong with a h/v pump. You don't need it. Save your money there.
