I looked into this when I had a 63 Fairlane sports coupe. I found a 1965 289 block and considered stroking it. I talked to about 4 engine builders and they all agreed to leave it alone. The skirts are too short. I agree with tpiini about leaving it stock (maybe a thin bore) and making a high RPM screamer out of it. Get a newer 302 and make your 347 if that's what you want to do.

Just my 2 cents
