on a 347 you need at least a 185cc runner head..gt-40 heads = 302 parts.....and you need a good cam and all you need is a grinder to notch the piston skirt for rod bolt clearance

So i can do the block notching my self

any way of measuring how deep?. so the GT-40 Heads wont work on it? or just will starve it to bad

the gt40's will work but won't let it breath like it should. and hopefully its only 30 over cause i hear anymore than that they loose strength.

There's a place on E-Bay named TMD in Riverside, ca. that sells a template for the grinding of a 302 block for the stroker kit........
