Post 425+ HP 347 stroker motor

After shopping around, I decided the replacement engine would be a Prestige Motorsports 425HP 347cid longblock. I also frequent the GT40s.com forum and a lot of guys speak highly of motors from Prestige Motorsports. They build them to order and dyno test each engine to ensure it meets the advertised performance specs. This way I could reuse the Canton oil pan and EFI setup from the old engine. They also offered a 440HP version of this engine which is basically a more aggressive camshaft. I opted for the 425 version as that extra horsepower is way up in the RPM range where it virtually would never get used on the street.

The build took a few weeks and they provided pictures while all the parts were coming together.







Yes, every setback and failed engine is a great excuse for an upgrade.
