A special thanks to Jay Allen at Camshaft Innovations for another SICK bumpstick for this little 347 stroker project. We pulled the old 10:1 comp TFS headed 347 out for a little wilder set up after getting the chassis dial in to an 11.72 ET at 4400 actual elevation on ET Streets in DOT Trim after driving the car to and from the track.
Of coarse that just made us desire more so we pulled the old set up and started over with the following build. After a conversation with Jay we dialed up a stick and ordered a new rotating kit from our buddy Eric at PROBE in cali and a big Thanks for ERIC & PROBE for getting us the new set up quickly and as ordered. (GREAT GUYS TO WORK WITH). ALSO a big thanks for Patrick at Pro-Systems Carbs for the EXCELLENT service and Killer Carb! Perfection right out of the box!
We decided to try something a bit different on this stock block warrior so we called up Milodon and ordered a set of their Billet Main Caps (center 3) along with a custom girdle (main support system) they offered for their mains. VERY inexpensive for these and I couldn't believe how much beefier and more supportive they are than the stock stuff.
I wanted to prepare the block for the worst (high rpm and maybe some Nitrous later) but the intent was to build a relatively budget off the shelf type motor (Except the cam) that could be easily duplicated to run low 10's and be a monster on the street. Here's what we came up with. Let us know what you think of the build. Hope you enjoy!
