Guys,
I'm gearing up to start the new engine build and wanted to see what you guys thought of going with a 347 and a blower vs a NA 427w. seems like the cost for doing both of these would be similar, since I have some of the stuff I would need for the 347 already. I have read on this forum that you can build these engines from OEM stuff and they hang together pretty well, but when I talk to engine builders they want to sell me an aftermarket block. I was hoping to order a stroker kit and a set of heads off the internet and assemble this myself. This is for my 69 fastback mustang and will be used almost exclusively on the street. I'm interested mostly in being able to light the tires in 3rd gear at will!!!
Of course in my crazier moments I start thinking about a 427w stroker with a blower but I just got a quote from a local builder of 20k for that! What do you guys think?
Mike
