500whp.. you better hope that thing stays together.. but as many will say and theres alot of truth to it, its all in the tune.
yea for the kind of heads and the small cam, and lack of computer tune the numbers arn't half bad. But its about perfect for the turbo kit im putting on it this fall, should have no problem hitting 500whp on a low boost setting.
No offense those numbers are REAL BAD!
My sn95 with just intake,catback,throttlebody intake mani untuned put down 226rwhp and with a tune around 240rwhp
I then had same F cam and trickflow heads and intake with the other bolt ons and i put down 273rwhp untuned and 300rwhp tuned on my stock 302 years back before I built my current 306 poke:

a 331/347 is easily 400whp on a stock block. i dont think you need a 351 base. plus it is reliable so long as you keep the rpms reasonible. my z cam'ed afr 165 306 made 34x whp
its all in the combo
I'm only going for 420ish whp but at my altitude I will need to make around 480whp corrected at sea level.
Im not sure of the month but it was a recent issue. it was a budget junkyard build or something of the sort. im not close to the issue right now so im not sure of the parts used but the total cost of parts was around 6500.
If a 347 can net 370+whp on a mild build then id be more than happy going that route to cut down on the cost and weight for the corners (so i can afford some suspension goodies and of course some sort of tranny that will hold the power)
for saving money im hopeing to use the stock 5.0 heads and block and just have the heads port, polished, shaved if needed and buy a stroker assembly and a nice intake mani. hopefully staying around 4k for the engine cost. (ive looked into the 351 and i found several blocks and whatnot for the cheap but im concerned that the weight will be a little much for what i truely intend to used the car for. (50% street(twisties) and 50% street raceing(straight line acceleration)
