Sweet!
Can you share the specs?
Looks like you running quality components. And the color choice is awesome. I had a '65 Fairlane in a similar silver blue.
Nice work!

Thanks guys for the kind words, as for specs my father in-law is building it so I will have to ask him and let you know. I know all componets are for racing applications and he figures we should see roughly 430 HP at the crank. :thup:

Cool setup, and if your ever dissapointed by it's performance, i know a good home for it. :lol: :D

how do you start a 347 build? a 302 bored up with longer rods? or a 351 destroked?

seems to be whats selling in jegs and other catologs in place of the 302,351.
