My 1994 Mustang GT runs beautifully but has close to 99k miles on her. I have done just about all the simple bolt-ons I can do without yanking the motor and now I think it is about time I gave her a little more longevity in the process of adding power. I am thinking of either getting the 345 hp 302 from Summit or having some guys I know at Big Shot Dyno in Hudson, OH rebuild mine and maybe stroke it to a 331 or 347. Which option would be most cost effective and give me the most power and reliability?

Rebuild by local guys, that way if theirs a problem you don't have to ship the motor back out and wait a month to get another motor back that may have more problems

defintalely have the locals build one for you. then you can also do some mods to it (like a stroker kit). just make sure the guys have a good reputation.

yeah, local build 331 is the way to go

Yea, i'm going with a stroker later on down the road too.
Seems like the better idea

Btw, what would the 347 be liter wise?
5.6?
think a 351 was 5.8 right?
or does it not change with a stroker?

lol..of course...cubes is the american way, liters is the metric systems way of measurment

k then so whats a 347?

There's an easy way to figure this out OB.

Use a known example--

302 (cubic inches) divided by 5.0 (liters) is 60.4

So when converting cubic inches to liters, divide the cubic inch by 60.4 to get liters.

So....347 divided by 60.4 is...................................5.74503312582 781456953642384106

Rounded off, yes, it would be 5.7
