Anybody passing CA smog with a stroker?

Thinking about doing a 347 buildup of a 5.0 for stealth use in my '90 LX. Is anybody running a stroker and passing smog as a 5.0? If so, what combo are you using?

I have a 347 motor from probe in my 1985 mustang (converted to fuelinjection a9l) with edelbrock performer heads, flat top pistons, and a .510" I .536 E lift 289 I deg 299E deg adv duration. I run a gt40 intake with 24lbs injectors And a custom chip. the car passes every time TEST ONLY. The smog guy never asks about the fuel injection (car was originally carburated). Chris

I have a 347-E from CHP also. It passed with flying colors with an all Trick Flow top end. It puts out great torque (375+ lb. ft. at the wheels/430+ at the flywheel).

I have since swapped to a Holley SysteMax intake and a custom cam...hasn't been e-tested yet.

A key thing to passing is the converters on your H-pipe...they do work. Make sure the converters are good and warm when you have the test done.

How is the E303 in a 347? I have one in my 5.0 and like the idle & power, but have thought it might be a little docile in a bigger motor. I was thinking that in a 347 an F303 would be like the E303 is in my 302. Anybody have any thoughts on whether the increase in cubes also warrants a hotter cam?

Yes, the 45 extra cubic inches likes more cam. I found this out the hard way.

CHP offers cams to match their E-legal shortblocks. I think the Ford E-cams a little out-dated now, but they still work.

I'm passing emissions testing with roughly 30* duration and .540" lift. The ticket is propably the lobe speration of 114*. The car idles nice, but pulls to 6000 rpm.

Another key to passing emissions is the converters...they work.

Agreed - my 90 LX with E303, GT40 heads, shorties, etc., runs cleaner out the pipes than my stock 90 LX, which I attribute to the relatively fresh BBK 2.5" converter H-pipe vs. the stock converters.
