Default 331 Vs 347

Ive had a 347 Stroker in an 84 stang, and it was a helluva lot of fun, i just recently bought a 90 Mustang with a 331 Stroker in it and i was wondering if anyone had any idea on specs and benefits of both what is better? I want opinions and specs if anyone has any...

I dont have a stroker, but Im thinking about building one. Ive been looking into it and the one thing Ive found out is that the 331 is longer lasting. The 347 are thinner and the rings are more prone to goingbad. The 331 is considerably less powerful but thereis less chance of blowing it. Am I right stroker guys?Please set me straight if Im wrong.I actually have several questions aboutstrokersof my own.Thats just one thing Ive found, Hopethat helps.......

Reliability is similar and completely depends on the builder and quality of parts. Same for power. The 347 will produce a little more torque, but that significance can easily be taken up by part selection. Heck, a 289 can outperform a 347 with the right selection of parts.
