I thought everybody liked the 351 based strokers better....no replacement for displacement and such, but apparently I am wrong. I was at an auction this summer and saw a 289FIA kirkham with a dart 289 stroked to a 347 go to 120,000. It did not meet the reserve, so i am not sure how much of that was shill bidding.
I had a DSS 331 stroker many years ago and loved it. It was a very powerful and fun engine. Again, i was just thinking that when the time comes to sell, which it will some day, that the 351W based stroker would be the better option to have in the car.
