Thanks Clois,
Yea, I'm probably going to be fine with the 347. I love the sound of a screaming, free revving small block.
Does anyone have links / diagrams showing a 347 build. I am particularly interested in the procedure to notch the block.
Tell me if I'm wrong but this is how I'm going to do it:
*Get some cheap main bearings lube them up, lay the crank in.
*Insert piston/rod into an oiled (motor
oil?) cylinder. (no rings on pistons)
*Rotate crank and mark the areas on the block and
oil pump that need to be shaved.
Or if someone could give me an alternative, I'm listening.
