is a 306 .030 over? what about 331? and I would go the bigger route...if you go with the 306 its only a matter of time before you wish you'd done the 331..imo

is a 347 bored and stroked?

yeah I think its .030 over for 306 im not sure about the 331 or 347, but ive heard bad thinkgs about the 347 so if I do choose to go with a big bore ill go with the 331 and stroke it.

Yeah my best bet is to go with the 331 because its going to be an everyday driver till I slap a super charger in it.
