347? Better carry a couple cases of oil in the trunk. You'll be needing it.

Dunlop GT Qualifiers are the hardest hooking radial next to actual drag radials. FYI.

I'd advise against the Dunlop GT Qualifiers, I had a set on my SS for a while and they're ok for the first year or so of use, then they go rock hard and traction goes to hell.

if you need spare parts for your stroker I have some eagle rods/ross pistons and JE pins

Been there when I had my stang back in the day. Good luck with the new setup. I ran a 10.5 straight motor on my 347 setup (1st time out).

That just means you gotta wear out a pair of tires every 6 months :thumbsup

347s put the rod too far up the piston and it gets into the rings. Everyone knows this. Buy a 4" stroke crank and build a 408. These days 427 and even 454 small blocks are common. Build a 408, or a 331. But not an oil burnin 347. Itll run good for about 2500 miles....thats it.
