the 331 and the 347 is very little. you have to worry more about clearance with a 347 amd yes they do burn oil if you dont have the right pistions, which can become costly. according to ford experts you should only bore a small block i.e 289 302 and so on to .40 over howevr if you are going to be using it for strip application than no more than .30 over.another thing to remeberis thatwhen a motor is "stroked" you thin side walls andif you over heat the motor...well good luck yiou may have to start all over again.and be honest, just beacuse you dont visit thetrack doesnt mean you are not going to beat on that stang on the streets.the 331 is a safe motor to build and will probly outlast a 347 because you wont burn up rings as 347 are notorious for doing. the differce between a "stock" 331 and a 347 is like 30-40 hp. its all how you go up from there is where you gain the power. both can be good bases but for and everyday application with a little fun to go out on the weekends stick with a 331.

I do not agree with calling people names.
A 347 now-a-days will still burn oil...
...if you do not use the right builder and parts.
One cannot simply say that a 347 will not burn oil.
A 331 and a 347 are close in power output, with the edge going to a 347.
If you build a 331, great! If you build a 347, great!
Have fun with them
