Honestly, you can get a ready to go 347 short block for that price from places such as CHP........IT WAS GONNA COST ME 1700.00 FROM a local machine shop to redo my 302 so I just went and found a "my loss is your gain" on the corral/ reduilt 302/306 for 650.00

on another note, are my edelbrock rpm heads bottlenecking the performance of this engine? i see people running 205's and 225's AFR's and such on 347 and i know my rpms are nowhere near that.

.. well maybe it should come out of your pocket then.........as for the heads leave them alone since your parents are footing the bill, no need to cost them anymore money. BUT MY OPINION is a 347 should have no less than a 185/190 head
