The "Best" forged 347 is going to be a totally custom job and cost you $20K+.

You need to figure out what you need and what your budget is.

Best can mean many things really. If you are talking about budget our Cheap Street 347 Shortblock is $2799. If you are talking about who builds the best all out race motor that is a different question all together, especially when it comes to price.

Give me a call at the shop, I'm sure we can put something together that will suit your needs.

by "best", i mean a motor that will make good power, can live up to everyday driving, and still take track abuse without constantly being down. and if i was going to spend 20k on a motor, why would i stay with stock cubes? really now.

kickassT/A, you would spend 20k easily on getting the BEST 346.
Lets see, $12,000 for a C5R block and heads (you said the best!!!) $650 per rod in titanium, prices I found anyway. Then Crank to match, easily $7,500. Then lets see, custom clearancing for forged pistons, rods, crank, etc, theres another $1000 or so, coating for everything, piston tops, skirts, rods, crank, head chamber, intake runner, exhaust port, springs, ........well as we see $20k was easy to spend to have the BEST. Of course for the BEST stroker, just add a few, or big bore.
