347 stroker kit??

im pretty sure this has been asked before but oh well. im look to build a 347 and was wondering if you guys that have them bought new blocks or got them from junkyards? and also what stroker kit out there is the best bang for your buck? i want a pretty hot motor. ive seen so many different kits. also is anyone making the pistons for the 347 without the pin in the oil ring? thanks alot

I used a early model 302 block for my 347 street/strip motor. It was a 68 302 out of a junk yard. The early model blocks and the mexican blocks seem to be stronger than the later blocks. I used SRP flat top pistons, Eagle H beam rods and a Scat cast crank, Edlebrock Victor Jr. heads with a stage 1 port. Edlebrock Victor Jr. intake and 650 dbl pumper carb. According to this sites HP calculator the motor makes 510 Flywheel horse power. car runs 10.50's on motor in a 2680 pound car. Tony

I used a 289 block, eagle 4340 crank and H beams w/ srp flat tops. Cam motion custom flat tappet, ported canfields Jr/750. Has run a best of 10.39/130mph NA(premo chevron 92 octane!) at 1300' elevation. Don't worry about the stupid wrist pin, probe makes one but IMHO there stuff is junk.
