I'll start out by saying I am no guru when it comes to mustang knowledge or knowledge of stroked blocks for that matter, and with that in mind bear with me here...I'm finally gettin close to havin the money for my engine swap, and was looking at vortechsuperchargers when i noticed they have done a price drop for the 94-95 gt kits, which happens to fit my 94 gt quite nicely, and are sellin their sc kits for about 1100-1300 depeding on trim line and polish. i also had planned on getting my new engine block from crateengine.net, they use dart blocks and have a 331 stroker and 347 stroker short block for the same price and use forged pistons and rods for their blocks ( engine can be found at http://www.crateengine.net ) having read up on this sites forums about how 331 is more reliable on a daily driver (which my car is) than 347, would that statement still hold true considering its a dart block (ive read they can take nearly 2000 hp before the break) and forged pistons and rods, because with the prices so low on the vortech supercharger kits i was thinking that i would also supercharge whichever engine i got....i guess to sum it up im asking is it safe to sc one of those two blocks and is one safer than the other (both the 331 and 347 are the same price so price does not make a diference)...thanks in advance for readin the post and for any help ya can give me

Not sure if this is a Myth or not
Prolly is
But I hear you can stroke the 302 Dart block to a 408...

That's one light engine making big block torque...

My dream setup is going to be a 331 blown, and a side of juice.
Hope I have enough cash this winter, I've decided to do my driveline first tho.
Which is probably going to run me around 3k...

Tremec TKO 500+Moser 31 spline axles+eaton posi+c clip elims+different yoke for tranny to fit the driveshaft and...?

obviously, the 347 would yield more power, and the reliability thing is a myth i believe anymore. so, either one would be good. especially since its forged, youll just have to find out what compression ratios are available. youll want a lower compression ratio since youre gonna force induce the engine. either way though, you should be happy w/ the power, just make sure youre tranny and driveline can take it. upgrade the axles. youll prolly want a locker and c-clip eliminators too. along with subframe connectors and lower rear control arms to help w/ the traction. but, you should be happy with the setup.

do you think the eaton posi differential would be better than an auburn locking differentials? jus curious cuz i also am going to be upgradin the drivetrain - tko 600, moser 31 splines, c-clip elims, and was gonna go with the auburn, but do not really know anythin about the eaton posi to make a decision between the two, also i was gonna put in new suspension - tubular k-member, tubular a arm, steeda full-length subframe connectors, steeda aluminum lower control arm, and tokico illumina 5-way adjustable shocks and struts...any suggestions for change there?

everything sounds good to me, but, when i get a locker, im gonna get a Detroit. go to www.holcombmotorsports.com/ and look at their selection. i think they sell every diff brand of locker. you could email them and tell 'em what youre doing and they can probably help you out. i know Auburn is good too, but, ive always heard good things about a detroit locker. if they can handle all the abuse off-roaders give 'em, they can def handle a street car. but, just check out Holcomb and they can help you out more thang what i can.

thanks alot guys for the help, grn n gry 50H - do you think the edelbrock performer 60cc heads would be a bad idea here? i wanna go with the afr 185s with 64cc but they are about 1000 more than the edelbrock performer 60cc heads are, and from what i found (and i may be very very confused here) the performer heads are the best STREET LEGAL heads, again i hope and think im wrong, also considerin the 64cc gt40 heads, and i was thinkin schneider hardened steel billet roller cam...also what would you do about the fuel system? 190lph pump was what i was thinking, not sure if it will be enough though...thanks again and ill have to check out those detroit lockers

yeah, AFR heads are expensive, but theyre one of THE BEST flowing heads on the market. check out Trickflow too: www.trickflow.com. either of those 2 or Edelbrock will prolly give you the most hp increase. there are other brands too. World(Roush), Brodix, others too, i just cant think of 'em right now. but, gt40's arent the best flowing heads or most hp yielding. and "street legal" ?? does whoever inspect your car look at your heads on the car ?? honestly, i know you said the afr's are more expensive, and i understand that part, but, if you want hp and flow, look at the 205's for your fuel system.......id say AT LEAST 36lb injectors, prolly even 42lb, maybe even bigger depending on how much boost/hp you want to run. 255lph fuel pump should be enough. not promising nothing, but, it should be. check out www.aeromotiveinc.com for your fuel system supplies. theyre probably one of the best known fuel system suppliers in the world. when it comes to cams, i honestly dont know a whole lot about but, just check out the companies' websites and talk to 'em directly. they can help you out more than i can. or talk to Roundman on here. im sure he could help you out too. he knows what hes talking about too.
