Default 302 to 347

If I buy a 347 Stroker Kit and have my 302 stock block taken to a machine shop will it hold up ok? The mustang im looking at is pretty stock and have many upgrades on my mind for it. What are your suggestions on

1. Cam, Heads, Intake? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku
4. Size of TB?
5. Size of MAF?
6. Injectors? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=skuor is that wrong size?
7. Should i switch out the fuel pump? And if so which one.
8. Was thinking of either http://fordstrokers.com/347-street-f...-kit-p111.htmlor http://fordstrokers.com/347-street-f...-kit-p117.html
9. BBK Longstubes?
10. Ford Racing Lowering Kit
11. 3.73 Gears
12. BBK CAI
13. Underdrive Pullies

Dont plan on doing nos, turbo, or supercharger any time soon. Wanting to gain as much hp as i can for 6k.I know this is lots of questions and have read lots of threads about this but i have never built one up from the ground up. Just wanting to get some suggestions of myparticular situation. Pleaseleave any suggestions or comments.

#1 I wouldn't use a tfs top end kit on a 347 it'd be like stuffing a rag in your intake and trying to expect top notch numbers......use ford strokers to build the short or long block ...if they/woody builds your long block have him use either afr 185's or the canfield 195's which will complement the 347 and make 347 power......tfs kit = 302 parts = 302 power.

What he said. ^^^

and for what Fordstrokers chagers for a completed and built
347 short block, you should just buy it pre-built.
You can can not do it any cheaper yourself or at local machine shop.

347 I have going into the Mamba, has a $2,000 head/cam/timing chain kit
from Camshaft Innovations. Everything came together and was designed
to work together and make big power on a 347. Buy a TFS-R intake and you're
at same cost as TFS kit and making better power.

$1,700 short block from Fordstrokers
$2,000 head/cam kit from CSI
$2,000 in misc parts like intake and headers, TB, injectors, ect.

under $6,000

75mm TB
80-90mm MAF
30-36 lbs injectors ..... those 24's are a little small, but would "work".
1 3/4 BBK LT's

google camshaft innovations..a guy named Jay Allen runs it and it's for the most part all custom ground cams taylored/ matched to your desired combo..that is of course if you want every angle maxed out as far as power potential goes..if not then there are some decent OTS cams out there as well as heads

Here.

complete engine specs for the Mamba
This is a 347 N/A .... done right.


347 short block from Paul Anthony Race .... $1,700 this is exact same engine Fordstrokers sells
CSI - Canfield head, billet cam, timing chain comb ...... $2,000 .... gave all engine specs to CSI and requested 6,500rpm shifting
10.8 - 1 compression
Edlebrock RPM-II intake
75mm TB - might go with an 80mm though
90mm Lightning MAF
BBK LT's
42 lbs injectors
Anderson 4" power pipe.
2.5" catless exhaust
3.73 gears

We are expecting this combo to make somewhere around 400rwhp .... all motor

You could build that for right at $6,000 maybe a hair less.
