The 347 pistons are more to the parts limit then the 331. That's my own definition and view of the different piston designs.

I'm not angry about different stroke length, i just don't like the design of the 347 pistons, that's all.

The 331 has hands down.

I always appreciate different opinions and experiences others made to learn from, all day. I will also learn from all your input and I like controversial discussions but I definitely will not build a 347.

The nitpicker deep in me tells me everyday NOT to exceed my total budget for the MK IV restoration. I need a lot of money for the complete car to bring it to the standards i have in mind. If i allow myself exceptions here and there at the end the total will be some thousand USD higher then planned.

Look at this poor car, it needs a lot of love and for sure a lot of money.....
