Default 347 stroker install

I haven't been on in a while and have slowly been re-installing the 347 stroker I had built. Once we got started, there were a ton of other things we ended up changing. I bought a TKO 500 trans, aluminum driveshaft, driveshaft loop, 42 lb. inj. a 90 MM Pro M MAF, an Anderson power pipe, Wild rides battle boxes, Centerline rims, MT drag radials, front skinnes, motor mounts, a T-rex ext. FP and 255 lph in tank FP, a BBK adj. clutch cable kit, a UPR egr eliminator spacer, a Centerforce dual friction clutch, and probably a bunch of other stuff I forgot about. I have a ton of other mods like a Vortech SC, fluidyne rad, gears, 3" inch custom x-pipe, shorty headers, MSD ignition, lower/upper control arms, subframe connectors, TF upper/lower intake, custom grind cam, Canfield heads, early style block, etc.

The reason I bring all this up is because if anyone is looking to take a project like this on, expect the unexpected and factor in twice as much time as you'd think.

I should have it done and dyno'd in a few weeks and I'll be sure to post pics and post the numbers.

Yea, I thought I was in for an inexpensive build when I stgarted my 347 project. The Probe crank, forged rods and pistons were only (about) $850. But I have well over $4K in mine now. But what the heck, I have a kick *** 347. Enjoy!

P.S. If you click on the web link on my signature you can see my engine build and then click on the "Engine Room" to hear it run.
