Crate 347 opinions
I am considering a crate 347 for 87 GT. Have been shopping the web for 6 months or so and read some threads here as guest so I decided to sign up. Going to put a new engine in next spring and was wondering if I could get some opinions on crate engine manufacturers. Looking for around 400/400 rwhp. Vendors/engines I have been considering:
DSS Racing Pro Bullet 347 efi (no dyno numbers) approx 8K
Patriot Performance 347 efi (425/410) around 5.5K
Edelbrock Performer 5.0 347 (430/420) around 10K (I think cant find exact engine/quote but similar engines are this price)
Obviously the Patriot engine stands out because of the value so I was wondering if anybody can offer any guidance. Is it worth it to spend the extra money on a DSS or Edelbrock built engine? Anybody have any information about Patriot built crates?

you get what you pay for...cheap does not equal quality/longevity, most likely they are using a stock block and the others aren't??......for 7-8k you could have a turn key motor from fordstrokers.com in a aftermarket block

Family owned. Extremely good customer service and the highest quality work. I ordered a DIY Liberator 347 from them September 20 and it should be ready sometime in the middle of November. Check out their website.
