I'm plan to build a 347 stroker to go in my 67 coupe. I would like to use 10.5 to 1 compression, looking at victor jr heads,thinking of using Crane solid roller. I don't know what lifter and rockers to use. Have a 750cfm vac. sec. I have a c-4 that I'm have built. plan on using a .410 gear. I would like to get low 7's in the 1/8 with my set-up. But I need alot of help, because it's has been 22 yrs since I built a race engine. And in that time there is alot more equipment out there to use. So if you help me it would be a great help. I like building or I would buy a crate. Thank You. This is a great site......------------------

If you go with Crower roller lifters and rockers, you can't go wrong.------------------

Unless you're already money into a 302/347, you might consider building a 351W or a 351 stroker. You could probably find a used block pretty cheap. I just figure it'd be cheaper to build the 351 than a 347, and if you were going to stroke it, might as well have around 400 c.i. rather than 347. Good luck to ya!

Already had work done to build a 347.

I'm basically running the exact same setup in my Comet. It runs 6.80's in the 1/8th w/ 10.5:1 compression.

That combo with 600+ lift solid flat or roller cam, Vic jr intake, 1 3/4 headers, drag shocks, Cal-tracs traction bars, and 28x10" slicks should run low 7's without pushing hard.
Wish my POS would run 6's!

I agree, not real hard to do with the right combination of parts. I think if I really pushed my combo I could get some 6.50 - 6.60's....

I thank you for your comments. Still looking for the right set-up. It's been years since I've built a race engine. And this stroker is new to me. My last engine was a 69 302 boss back in 1980. So any help would be useful. Thanks again.------------------
