Just thought I'd throw up a picture of the 347 build that I'm currently putting together for my '89 GT hatchback.



This is a Dart SHP block, bored 0.030" over with a 3.4" Scat forged 4340 steel crank, 5.4" Scat forged 4340 h-beam rods, and Probe forged aluminum flat top pistons. All machine work on the bottom end was done by Woody at FordStrokers, and I have to say that the assembly process has been a breeze due to his meticulous work. All tolerances are perfect, and I didn't even have to file-fit the rings (they gapped perfectly without it!).

The heads are Twisted Wedge 170's. Before anyone comments that they're too small, I'll point out that I've recently had them CNC ported by Dave Jack Cylinder Heads in Rahway, NJ. They now flow 312CFM intake / 220CFM exhaust, which is plenty according to my calculations . The cam is a Comp Cams XE274-HR.

Comments?


Also - I will be running this setup with a MegaSquirt 3. Does anyone have a base tune for a 302, 331, or 347 that I can work from?

I've got friends with 347s in their Cobra replicas (mostly Factory Fives).

The exhaust note is incredible.
