Doug, here is another engine builder to add to your list, and they are located in California. I came across them on a Mustang forum after I did a google search on the famous topic of "331 vs 347 stroker". Joe Sherman Racing is the engine builder, and he is 100% in favor of the 347 stroker. He builds "street" verisons that are in the 425 hp and 425 Ft Lb of torque range, and he builds racing only versions that are in the 650 HP range. His opinion is that the present day 347's, built correctly, are the way to go - more torque, the rod angle is insignificant as the difference is .39% (as in less than 1/2 of 1%), and he has 'reportedly' never had an issue with wrist pin interference with the rings. Check him out! Visit his shop!!! And let me know what you think!! Thanks, Rick
