I'm sure this question has been asked, but can a 347 stroker be built using a 289 block? As I recall, the 302 and 289 shared the same block, but the 302 had a longer stroke, right?
That's an old wive's tale. They both have 5 1/8" long cylinders. 289 and early 302 (2pc rear seal) blocks are completely interchangable.well the 289 block have a shorter cylinder skirt
I should have been more clear... early 289/302 (non roller) blocks have the shorter bore skirt compared to roller 5.0L block. I have seen it and can round up a pic or measurements.On 2002-02-12 18:33, n2omike wrote:

Good Luck!
I called my uncle, he built the engine, and it is a 302.On 2002-02-12 22:18, rod n az wrote:
My 347 is a 289 block. It has run good so far. The highest I've revved it is to 6500 rpm.
