347 w/ Eagle Stroker, what type of head
Please help:
I have a 347 Eagle stroker kit part number 16022, pro built short block, with a Ford F cam installed, need some help in figuring out which head intake combo to use. I have been told with the piston setup i cannot run a Trick Flow head, Eagle has a diferent part numb. for that setup.So im thinking maybe AFR 165, will they work? and for a intake maybe Trick Flow Track heat ? any info would be helpfull
The car is going to be used for driving on the street and with no blower or bottle.

RE: 347 w/ Eagle Stroker, what type of head
1. You need a better cam, thats a 302 cam and does not have the durration you need on a stroker.
CompCams XFI "347 EFI stroker" cam is nice, its what I run ........ or a custom would be best from Jay Allen or Ed Curtis
You will need to upgrade your valve springs too.
2. Get the biggest head you can afford. AFR 185's minimum, 205's wouldn't hurt
RHS 200's and Canfield 192 and very good also.
Looked up your part number and Eagle says you will have 10.3-1 compression with 58cc heads and thats perfect.
3. Get bigger intake than Track Heat, TFS-R or similar at least.
Strokers need the proper cam and LOTS of airflow in and out to make the big power that they should.
You just spent a lot on a 347, dont sell yourself short with 302 heads, cam, intake and shorty headers
Some AFR 205's with 58cc chambers, custom cam from Ed Curtis with one of his "AFR valve spring kits"
along with 1 3/4 LT's and Trickflow R or Edlebrock Victor 5.0 or Edlebrock Vic Jr. EFI with TB elbow will make that 347 ROAR!!!!

RE: 347 w/ Eagle Stroker, what type of head
c'on man 205 heads....reading too many mags.....I would dump that POS cam....you need to ask yourself what you want from the car and it's main purpose....the engine needs a daul pattern cam......are the pistons fly cut to accept large valves and a large duration cam?....if the car is stock bodied and heavy I would ops for a roller that's has a 110 C/L and a smallish valve in the 1.90 or 2.02 range...no way you need a 2.05 heads....and also in no way you need anything less that a aluminum head....

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO BIG OF A HEAD ON A SMALL BLOCK FORD (with the right cam)
The more head you put on there, the more power you will make, with a good cam.
Why not go ahead and spend an extra $400 now and make a lot more power?
Sick of all these numb nuts saying, "that too much head ..... or you dont need that much"
BullShyt!!!!!!! buy the biggest head you can afford.
I know people running 185's on a freak'n 306!!!! and running 11's, but according to you they have
too big of a cylinder head on there. ............ Their track times would disagree with you.

You need to read more magazines then I guess.

RE: 347 w/ Eagle Stroker, what type of head
Hey, thanks for all the tech info, just what i needed, although 88ttops hit on the head, im going to stick with theF cam installed due to the fact the local machine shop already did the work, and i dont feel comfortable changing it myself. I cant use the TFS heads because my pistons (Keith Black flat tops) have stock valve reliefs. Its a different eagle part number if your going to use TFS heads, soooo im leaning towards the AFR 185, with a TFS track R intake? that sound about right 375HP at the wheels? whacha think? The car is just going to bea weekend driver. any more sugestions would befantastic!
