advice on 347 kit badly!!!

whiteout34 · September 13th, 2010, 03:30 PM

my frd is selling his 347 kit to me for really cheap its used of course ($350) . but my problem is do i hav to hav mods to help support this kit. What do u think??

whiteout34 · September 13th, 2010, 03:33 PM

should i buy it or save up for gears??

it will work by itself...it just will be held back considerably by the limitations of your stock top end. I would spend the money on something else if you dont already have HCI (heads, cam, intake) done...

350 for the kit plus whatever it will cost you to get your block machined, and the rotating assembly installed...Gears will be much cheaper.

$350 is awfully cheap for a 347...

Is he selling a shortblock, or a rotating assembly?

If its an assembly, with no block. It will require machine work to the block, new rings. new bearings. a bunch of measurements to be taken...
then ofc you will have to notch the bottom of the cylinder bores so the rods dont interfere with the block

plain and simple... unless this is a shortblock... you should probably skip it.

well he decided to sell me his motor that has the 347 kit on it. but its needs to be tuned and our manifolds swapped for it to work. Im worried i will get ripped off

whiteout34 · September 14th, 2010, 03:47 AM

why does he want to get rid of it? How much for the shortblock? I would also find out who made the kit and who installed it/.

whiteout34 · September 15th, 2010, 01:29 AM

just 350 for the whole motor i raced him earlier and we were door to door??!!! i thought he would destroy me and apparently him and his dad installed it.

AdderMk2 · September 15th, 2010, 09:57 AM

if he isnt pulling away from you like a mad man, with a 347... then something is seriously wrong with his car.

just another great reason to avoid buying it.

whiteout34 · September 15th, 2010, 05:48 PM

thats what i thought his excuse was it wasnt tuned

StangBanger302 · September 16th, 2010, 02:51 PM

BS a 347 should walk on a 302 pretty badly.

whiteout34 · September 17th, 2010, 03:15 AM

i didnt buy it he sold it to someone else the kit had a bad piston and rod i believe

StangBanger302 · September 17th, 2010, 02:05 PM

Hence why it was so cheap...If you see any kits for less than 500 be spectacle.
