Hi all,
Have any of you rebuilt your 289/302 block to a 347 (David?) From an article in a past issue of Mustang Monthly, it looks like there is (or could be) a clearance issue with the piston bore skirts at the bottom and the crank. Has any of you folks done the "grinding away" yourselves of the skirts to clear the interference issue? If so, what tool did you use.
In case you're wondering, I haven't done anything with it yet ;-)
Still on the fence with rebuilding the current block to either a 302 again or a 347. Or just biting the bullet and going the crate engine route.
Thanks in advance for your input.
