Default Forged 347

Who sells a good forged 347 or 383 shortblock and what are the prices? I am looking for one with dish pistons so I can use my milled (59cc) AFR 205 Heads. I want to install a ECS Novi supercharger kit in the near future. The rest of my driveline is built for high horsepower. Also what horsepower could I expect with this combo?

Thanks

I know of a shop in Illinois that sells long blocks from 347,382,402,408. The 402 costs $3,200.
With some decent boost you can see over 800RWHP and up.

Default Try a Forum Vendor

There are lots of Forum vendors here that have forged short blocks. They can also help you with the rest of your combo. Buying multiple cams when they don't work as planned can get expensive.

TSP, SPDC, Cartek, A&A, ECS, Vette Drs, SLP, etc

I have a SLP ZL402 and I'm very happy with it.
