I'm thinking about putting together a 331 for my foxbody. It's a 5sp. Anyone done this before. I want to put some victor Jr heads on it. Carb. some 3.73's

[Racinjason81]

what HP are you shooting for?street,strip or both?are you gonna add a power adder?450-500 is about it with a stock block.for the size of the engine the victor jrs 210cc runners are big you are better off with the performer rpms with 170cc runners.the jrs would kill you bottom end.
for a carb get a holley 700-750 or a demon which are underated so go a size smaller like a 650

I want a good strong running daily driver. Something that runs mid 13's all motor. What kind of cam duration at .50 i had something like a 232@.50 in mind

Was thinking a performer Rpm intake aswell.

[White Thunder]

if your going that far with it get a 347 stroker and a trickflow top end kit.

[White 89]

No I heard stay away from 347 for street use. Something about wrist pin to close to piston allowing alot of oil consumption

I did see a fox body with trick flow heads and was very impressed by it

[superman5.0]

whoa dude if all you want is mid 13s you can easily do that without stroking it, get a nice dyno tune and some 3.73s and exaust and intake and your there.

[White 89]

Well my motor has 170,000 miles on it. It uses alot of oil now but runs good and sounds strong. Gave it a good tune up when i bought it and that made a huge differance

I'd like to pull it and stroke it make it a little faster.

Everybody is downing 347's and i am tired of all this shit!!!!!!!! the oil wrist pin problem was fixed whaen they came out with a 5.315 inch rod it is moved away from the wrist pin and oil ring

[superman5.0]

ok then do it right
go to fordstrokers.com the owner is a member on this site anyways, then for heads go with RHS probably 180 intake, or you could do canfeild 190s, both the best heads going right now. as for the cam dont leave that up to comp or crane, talk to a real person that you can meet and know who is doing your grind, my nitrous cam is in the mail from jay allen of camshaftinnovations.com, he'll call you and talk to you and make sure of everything you want, he'll probably hook you up with some springs and maybe some lifters. this is my dream build up but my motor is not even at 70k so im just waitin a long while then start over. you can take this build just dont mess it up.

That's what I heard. It is a strip only set-up just a 16 cube diff. I will sacrafice those 16 so I don't have to dump a quart of oil in it every week like I do now.

I was thinking some victor jrs. don't know yet. What are RHS

[superman5.0]

racing head service
better then any other heads and there iron heads are cheaper then victor jrs. and there springs n such are just better, they are just a better head, i also like to go with iron heads anyways because of my nitrous.

[White 89]

No power adders for me just all motor.

I was going to get alum heads. Lighter weight suppose to keep things cooler too. But you can't beat good ol iron heads done right. I'll look for them you have a link to the website.

it is not a strip only motor,and you do not dump a quart of oil in it every week.and that difference is about 25hp

[superman5.0]

yea i actually wanna do a 347 kit, just so then i can laugh at my brother and say my engine is bigger then his ls1. but how much torque comes with that 25hp?

just a couple more lb ft of torque

[superman5.0]

is the kit any more money? assuming both are forged

[White 89]

This is currently my Daily driver so I want to keep it as my DD.

I need it to be street friendly. That is why I want to stick with a 331 I want to make a good amount of power with a 331 some good heads and cam probably go with a performer RPM intake don't know about carb yet.
