Default Update to 347 stroker run

Fellas below is the info from the ol run with the 347 stang. Caught up with the guy and he said he has the following mods:

T-56 Swap
4.10 gears
Long tubes no cats
Custom h/x pipe with Borla race mufflers
Stage 2 Ported GT 40x heads
Port matched plenum/intake manifold
Ported TB
Pullies
"B" grind cam
Suspension Mods
Tune






I finally get a clear opening and pull even to let'em know im game. I notice the huge cowl hood and 347 stoker emblem....nasty idle..crusing at 60, i give'em the hit, he jumps out a car, i smash into it and pull instanly two cars by 80-90. I let off and slow down to about 55 to give'em another chance. I give'em the hit again, let him go up a car length, smash into it letting off at about 120, he's a solid 4.5 cars back. I let up and slow down to crusing speed, him nor his lady friend would look at me. He finally guns it and rolls outta site.

Car was a late 90's stang...97 thru 99, before the termi body style. Once he pulled ahead he had no mufflers, could see a diff cover, and that idle was pretty choppy. Wide tires and nice wheels, looked forged or polished aluminum. Thats about all I know. What do the 447 strokers normally run?

Stock intake manifold, b cam, middle of the road heads, and I am guessing since the tb was ported that it was stock also. Worst combo for a stroker that I have seen in awhile. Good kill.

That's what I was thinking. Totally waste of a 347 stroker kit.

The intake manifold a Trick Flow R-series and tb looked like a bbk. They where matte or powder coated black. Cold air tube looked like
a polished bbk piece. Couldnt tell for sure but the tube to it looked larger than the one on my brothers and another co workers rides. I'm not too knowledgeable on ford parts and what they typically produce. Thoughts?

No offense but if I had a 347 and lost to an LS1 like yours I would sell the car.
B cam sucks even for a 302 and Gt40X heads way to small

Nice kill!!!!!!!!!!!

That cam is fine if you have a stock 302 and want it to have a small rumble. Not good for much else, especially a stroker application. The heads are also too small for a stroker as stated earlier.

That is a horrible setup for a 347 stroker. Yes I am beating a dead horse on that one. Last week I saw a 95 GT that had a 347 stroker all trickflow parts and a 9 inch. He said it made 430rwhp. So OP don't expect to run away from all the 347's you'll see because not all of them run the way that **** poor one did.

Either way Good Kill OP keep up the good work.

In the comments on that video, it's stated that the C4 was not that much faster than the Mustang; just a really bad red light.


FWIW, I think the AFR 185's on that 347 in that video are too small for that engine. I think that a set of 205's would be much better.
