Edelbrock.com - Crate Engines - Small-Block Ford - Performer RPM XT EFI 9.9:1 (503 HP & 445 TQ)

After readying Spooky's tale about an engine assembled OS, I am staring to lean towards a 347 CUI stroker kit for my existing block, with upgraded cam, heads and a mass flo efi set up.

I can then change to a standard rotation WP and hook up a gilmer, or maybe even go electric on the WP.

This will sort out recertification of engine dramas and engine number changes,

But I will do the sums, and a bit more research this time, and look to cover all the bases.

Thanks for the link.

Hi Adam, just a piece of advise, im not sure what block youve got, but if youre going to stroke it to a 347 and rev it hard you are way better off with an old 60s 302 mexican block if you can find one, ultrasound the bores so you know what youve got, they are way thicker and better than any of the latter model injected motors, just ask wazza he learnt the hard way. im not saying dont stroke youre existing block, plenty of fellas on here have but if you want to rev it hard and longevity its either a mexican or dart or similer. ive had that combo in another car for several years and its proven to be pretty stout. Cheers Tomcat
