347 or 351???

It's a trade off. Both engines will have their draw backs and advantages. You have to decide what you need/want.
351 Pros: Stock bore and stroke, stock length rods, stock replacement pistons - makes for a cheaper build. No block mods. No overbore. Plenty of room to grow. Also has a longer stroke, so it can make more low end torque. But the longer stroke decreases it's rpm potential.
Cons: Taller, wider, and heavier. Needs differant exhaust, intake, front dress, oil pan, oil pump, and distributer.

a 351 with the same stuff as a 347, should make more hp...more cubes, more air, more power, more stroke sucking air...
anyways, the 351 in stock form isnt bad at all. in order to spin more stroke and bore higher in the rpms, rotating weight needs to less, thats why a diesel couldnt spin to 10k rpms, you cant control that much weight that fast without something giving way.
351, stock, plus a turbo or 2 = alot of fun, ask r.barn, he knows. his might have heads or something...
