Is this available? What is the sickest, trickest 347 stroker out there? I really want a trick engine for my pony and getting ready to do the full monty. I would like to hear the suggestions from the panel of experts. Cost is not a factor.

 

why stick with a 302 based motor? dart makes an aluminum 4.125 bore monster.

personal opinion, that block, built to be a 351w/408 stroker (which would be a 427... but better than the 4.030 bore / longer stroker 427) or a 351w/427 stroker (which would end up around 446) would be the way to go.

slap some CHI heads on there to have an all aluminum clevor motor and with streetable compression and cam you will be at like 600-700 horse at the flywheel easily.

yes, yes thats right....... it would be insane

 

Thanks for the input. That would be a killer motor for sure. I have done the 351 swap in the past and it was not fun, so i am looking to keep the 289/302 size for fitment issues. I don't want to hack my shock towers to squeeze in a 427 or larger, but I do want that kind of N/A power. Is the Dart aluminum motor same size as our 302, meaning a direct replacement?

That might be a good start. In their description it does not reference the size (mounting and clearance). You think this is the same size as the 302? Of course, much larger bore and stroke...

 

I emailed these guys (T and L) a couple of weeks ago about this and never got a reply. Guess they are too busy building NASCAR motors to mess around with a special aluminum 347 stroker. Looks like they do a bang up job on iron blocks though...

 

A 427 stroker like my77stang suggested is gonna be off a 351W block and will fit in an early model Stang without cutting anything(unless the larger bore block is slightly wider, but even then it should just be a reallytight fit). I think many of us can agree I'm a fan of CHI heads and yeah, those heads on a 351/427 aluminum block early Mustang(meaning light Mustang) would easily make 600-700hp at the flywheel, in all liklihood even more. In the Engine Masters challenge, if they could get 605hp at 6,500rpm out of a 366 with a flat tappet cam and those heads, a roller cammed 427 with those same heads and setup really well could prolly make 750ish hp in the 6,000-6,500rpm range, add in a lightweight crank/rods/piston setup and you can build a street car that with traction should be able to run 10's in the 1/4 on pump gas fairly easily. If you wanna get REALLY crazy, build that engine with like 8-8.5 compression and run a turbo, it couldmake over 1,000hp, maybe evenon pump gas

 

hey im in total agreement with 67 on this one - btw a 347 IS a 302 block its internal stuff thats different.... just to clear that up for you

we built a 408 with out of the box victor jr. heads that was running 10's in the quarter (no juice, and n/a) - the powerplant we're talking about is what gets you into a sub 10 second car with the right trans, gearing, and suspension

 

Edelbrock's out of the box Victor series heads are some great pieces that are hard to be for the price/performance. A 351/427 with CHI or Victor, or some AFR race heads like 225's will make some monster power, but the CHI heads will prollymake the most power if you're looking for the biggest gains, but they'll prollycost more too
