I've seen a guy around here running a Turbo 347 in his 98 Gt putting down somewhere around 750+rwhp on pump gas.

I talked to MMR, $250 to ship the block, usually costs around $800 for it to be dropped in. Now I just wanna know how much power it makes as a standalone...

depends on the block, if your using your stock stuff, and it's 10:1 compression, probably no more than your old engine is putting out.

if you were running bigger cams, you could run more, but with the stock cams and heads, power wouldn't change, just how much BS the block could stand up to
