^^ YES AGREED and a bigger exhoust and intake would help also.
For about evry cubic inch you add, you get about one free HP and Torqe. On a stock motor, with stock evrything, you would make a really torqy truck like motor, consider upgrading the top end as well. At least port your heads and intake.

RE: Stroking: Questions
I'm on a budget here. 351 is too expensive for me.
So i couldnt get away with a bone stock motor with the exception of the 347 kit on the stock fuel system for a little while?
My reasoning is because:
I plan on stroking it, then later on buying a kit and supercharging the **** out of it, because that will come with the injectors and fuel pump i need, but ill have the added power of the 347 while im saving for the S/C kit.
