Get ahold of Loboost. He might have his forged 347 for sale still. I just bought his tti x twin turbo kit. I heard the motor run and it sounded great. My kit was so clean when I was unpacking it at home I made the comment to my wife that if I didnt know better I would have thought that I had just recieve the kit from turbo technology. IF you want I can give him a call and let him know that your interested. Just let me know.

No need to spend the extra $ on a forged 402 when a a forged 347 boost motor will make all the power you can ever put to the ground anways and then some. Just a waste of $ in my opinion and more of a bragging rights thing. LME, HPE and Forced Fed Induction, all have great reputations for builiding awesome forged 347 motors and the forged shortblocks (utiizing stock cranks which are pretty mucy indestructible) are pretty reasonabley priced at around $3,400 or so!! LME (Late Model Engine out of Texas) is building my forged shortblock as we speak!!
ALSO, I have spoken with LOBOOST On some other car parts and he is a very good guy and if he has a forged shortblock that is a great way to get into a used forged shortblcok for a great price but I have no details at all on his engine!!

If I was to do it over again, I would build a 9.2:1 347 with STRONG internals. This way you can boost the **** out of it and probably not lose ANY power. PLUS you wouldnt have to do any machine work to get the blower to fit.
Ask me how I know....

346 gets my vote also, we have not had a forged 346 leave here with under 700rwhp in a while now and unless you have a properly set up drag car, there is no need for more than that.
