no,no... nothing that serious.
but, since the block is already .030 over... well, that is half the math equation to get to 347... and I don't really want to spend the time cleaning up all of those old engine parts....Hmmm

In for a penny, in for a dollar. Sounds like you are going down the rabbit hole!

Looking down the same rabbit hole of the 347 myself. Since it is apart and torque is a requirement I'm almost there myself. Staying small. Gt40 heads with new springs and rockers from Alex's parts. Summit has some prebalenced kits from eagle with flywheel and balancer. Only issue there is not a lot of detail on small parts and clearancing requirements.

Well, I managed to accomplish some other things while sorting out the motor stuff. finally got the front axle and suspension all mounted up along with the outer knuckles installed. may not be much but it is one step closer to rolling on all fours.
plus I got a little behind this weekend as I had to spend some time repairing my air compressor.... killed it blasting some old seat frame:cool::-X;D
