Thumpin347, my combo is a little low key as 347's go. I re-used most of the parts from my 302 based motor. The rotating assy. is a TMD cheapo using 5.315 I beams and the Probe pistons with the offset wrist pins (for improving rod ratio). The crank is a nodular iron piece straight from mainland China. The whole kit was $850, and that's primarily why it's between my fenders. The cr is advertised at 10.75:1 with 64cc heads, I run 60cc Edelbrock Performers. So I assume I'm around 11:1 (could do some math to be sure) The only mods to the heads are the installation of the Comp Beehive springs. I saw them in a MM&FF article, sounded great to me and my original springs were worn out for sure. These things will rev to 6700rpm with no float whatsoever. The intake is a Cobra piece, the upper is extrude honed and opened up to match a 75mm TB, the lower was somewhat ported when I bought it, I went a little more and polished the crap out of the runners. It matches the intake ports on the heads perfectly. The heads and intake are too small for an all out 347, but it makes huge torque for a daily driver. I run a TFS Stage 2 with 1.7 rollers, nets around .600 lift and duration is stretched to about 230/238 with the rockers. I use a Tweecer and wideband for tuning, makes it idle like a stocker, save for the 850rpm idle speed. I ran 3.73's in the '95, but when I went with the added torque of the 347, I dropped back to 3.27's. Makes wheelspin a whole lot easier to control between the stoplights, and third gear onramps are plain scary. Rest of the car is same old, same old bolt ons, it's on page 2 of my website, I'll get some more pics in there to look at.
As far as running 11:1 and a 150 shot. My gut tells me that's not a great idea for longevity. You could probably make 450hp with a 347 using a hydraulic roller camshaft. Anderson makes some high rev units, I like to shift at or below 6K on the street, so I'm not sure how feasible it would be to build a 7K motor without going to a solid roller setup, then you need new valvesprings and supporting lightweight hardware. A 150shot would be getting you darn close to the limits of the stock block. It may break after one spray, or after a hundred, but you'd definitely be knocking on the door.
once i know a bit more about engines, i will be able to help with almost every aspect of cars, and i am taking a engines course right now
Eh, I work at a ford dealership, so I get my share of engine work.
now we just need jason to get in here and approvehttp://www.mustangevolution.com/foru...cratchchin.gif

yeah that would work as well, as long as it's built to hold alot of boost. :DQuote:
