346 vs 408 and build ?
So I have my motor all spec'd out. Right now I am running a forged 347 with prc 5.3's and a 224/230 cam. My question is am I going to notice a $5k difference(after selling my motor) between the 2 motors? If it is a big difference it is justified. If not I will keep the 347. Here are the specs
TSP LQ4 408
PRC CNC LS3 heads milled to yield 11.5:1
LS3 intake with 92mm TB
236/242 .600/.610 112+2
Also any guesses on hp?

I can tell you it was worth every penny I spent on my 408, and I'd do it again. Plus you might even look at going with a bigger cam, the larger cubes really eat up duration....that 236/242 would have somewhere near the manners of a 224 in a stock cube motor.....but then again it depends on what car It's going in, and what you plans are for it.

I still have regrets on not going on a 408 on my last rebuild.. Next time, I dont care what happens or about my budget, it will be a huge 440 stroker LOL.
Go for a 408..
I went with nitrous to keep up with the big boys! but I dont wanna know what a stroker with nitrous feels like!!
