[QUOTE="Black93Cobra, post: 317108, member: 3406"] Max HP would probably go to the 347 but I prefer the 331 for it's superior rod/stoke ratio. Some of the early 347's suffered from oil consumption issues due to the placement of the ring package. The latest versions seem to have solved that issue. Just as a point of reference. My '93 Coupe track car with a 331 DSS Kit, Edelbrock Heads with 1.90/1.60 valves, 10.5 to 1 compression, an E-cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake, 36 lb injectors, FRPP shorty headers, X-Pipe and 2.5" Mac Cat-Back Kit made 360 RWHP at 6500 RPM. With a bigger cam and a better set of heads, 380 or better would have been possible. Either way, I don't think you will be disappointed. One thing to remember about DSS kits, they balance their engine with a 28oz (the old 302 style balance not the later 5.0L 50 oz balance). You will need a flywheel and balancer for a 28 oz application otherwise the engine will self-destruct. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
