Hey peoples,
Was wonderin what the general consensis was of my engin idea for my Sprint. Like Holden, they have done the 355/383 to death, as for Ford, the 347 is a bit the same. So i was thinkin of building a 6.0lt(363cui) or there abouts just for somethin diffrent. Obviously the driveline and what not would be upgraded to handle the extra hp and torque. Thoughts and comments????? Thanks Chocko |

Doing something different will probably end up costing more for about the same performance gain.

To go any higher than 347ci, you'll need a different block. World's new Man'O'War blocks can be bored/stroked to 370-odd ci using a 302 based block, or if you want to fit a 351W block, you can go to 418ci with a Dart or World block.
I don't really think the 347 has been 'done to death', its a very good combo, any bigger and you'll need an aftermarket block.
