I am still guessing what I want to build I was thinking of a 306 because it is going to be a street car and I like to make as much HP out of small engines as I can.I want to know what you guys are building and have had success with.Thanks

just build a 347 its very streetable and a little beter than a 306

+5 on the 347, and put a turbo on top of that, its streetable with boost control and they are EXTREMLEY badass, go with like a 76mm, that should put you in the perfect efficiancy range of the turbo and be making around 500-550, but then you looking at a new block, so on second thought, if you want the stock block maybe go with like a 67, and make around 450 and then if you were to get a new block you could still crank it up a little more

Did you have one that smoked? If so you need a new engine builder. Spreading misinformation like this gives people the wrong ideas. There is nothing wrong with a 347. They are not prone to early failure or oil burning and I really wish you people that have no experience with internal combustion engines would quit fabricating these stories.

[Twist it up]

fabricated??? everybody knows a 347 is a smoke machine and won't last as long as a 331.... i didn't say mine smoked, just the redneck racers at the track, i know there's those low ring pistons that prevent smokin but they're prone to failure right? you pretty smart darrell but they do smoke after daily driving.... lots of power and high reving mofo!!! you never seen one smoke darrell????

[baine21225]

i havent

[**Chris**]

There is no reason a 347 would smoke or burn more oil than any other motor if it's built right. The piston pin/ring issue has been taken care of by alot of manufacturers like Probe.

omg quit talking if you havent had one darrel has run many 347's in his day. And that was what they did back in the day they have solved all this oil ring bullshit and im tired of everybody saying that a 347 sucks b/c they dont.Like the old saying goes dont knock it till ya try it,and coming in here calling it a smoke machine they were not a smoke machine you have a very wrong idea ytes they smoked some but were not smolke mahines b/c they smoked alittle.Almost everybody has solved this oil ring issue with a shorter rod or the piston manufacter has moved the oil ring farther up on the piston.Quit giving everybody the wrong idea about stuff if you have never had one.

and why do you say everybody knows a 347 is a smoke machine

Ok, so just wondering.... what happens when you race a 347 with a 150 shot? Or a 408 with a 150 shot?

Exactly...

nope darrels car runs deep in the 9's

[Twist it up]

with a 425 with heads and a bigass carburator, does darrell spray his wheelie machine?

[Iownastang]

nope he had it one there where he could negotiate lengths when he raced but he never sprayed the motor

[White Thunder]

why argue with people that are here with the same cars and same goal.....fuckin relax with your 306 and i'll build a 347
