Hey everyone, I recently got a 302 short block that I got machined and bored over .30. Ive been looking for a 331 stroker kit but all the ones ive found are too expensive. Lowest price I founnd was $1200. But I found a 347 stroker kit for $800, I heard all about the 347 being natorious for burning oil, I have the money to get the kit now but I wanna know your opinion, should I just wait to get the 331 or just go for the 347? I want it sooo bad.

Heres the link for the 347: http://coasthigh.com/Specials/Specials_current.htm

 

Also my next question is can I use the stock heads (polished and ported of course) running 10.0:1 compression? Also I think I may have to take the heads back to the machine shop to take them to w/61cc head and .015 deck is tht possible?

 

The 347 burning oil thing is long gone.I cant believe everyone still thinks that that problem was solved years ago.My friend has had a 347 for over 2 years and never burned a single drop of oil.If i was building a motor I would build the 347 or a 351 because the is no replacement for displacment

Balance your D.S.S. Stroker Kit for an additional $175

Go check out dssracing, these are the prices for their stroker rotating assembly, their kits start at $939. If you are going to just run all motor, Iwould recommend the 347 because they are torque monsters, but the specs for the 331 are very similar. I would recommend the 331 if you are going to supercharge or turbo the car.

 

DSS is the worst place to buy a motor.....347 anyway you go!Why not just get a 351 you have allot more option and its cheaper than building a stroker motor and more reliable.Not that the strokers aren't but there is no machining to the block necessary and a stock 351 block can handle allot more Hp

 

I already spent money on machining the block so 351 cant be an option.
