It is hard to believe that the last time I wrote about the Big Bore 347 build was November of 2017. But yes, it really was that long ago! Things are moving along again now that I pumped some additional funds into the motor. There have been some other changes also! I thought it would be a good idea to outline those. The 94 GT is for sale since we've picked up a 94 Cobra. The 94 Cobra is where the engine will eventually find a home. I've built a pretty stout 8.8 rear - read about it in another blog post. And the TKO500 will be the transmission.
Block is a Dart SHP, bored to 4.120.
Rotating assembly: Probe crank, CP Billet Rods and Pistons. Looking for 10.5:1 Compression.
Heads - AFR 185s, resurfaced and ported. LGM shaft mount rockers, PAC racing springs
Cam - Custom grind by FTI
Balancer - Romac Gold, 28oz
The rotating assembly is being balanced, and the head work is in progress. Once that is done the final assembly will begin. Before I take delivery, it will be broken in on the dyno! I was told this should make around 460 on the engine dyno. I'm hopeful!
