Yea, 392, 408, even like 427 I think, If your hell-bent on a stroker.
Are you using a carb? On FI setups, sometimes when you already have aftermarket heads, cam, intake already it's more cost effective to go 331. Most 30x based parts will work on a 331. Stretching smallish intakes, injectors and cams tend to choke a 347.
If you don't already have heads and intake go 347. No real drawbacks with most "quality" kits. Most good n/a engines make atleast 1hp
pr. C.I.
so 347 offers 16 more hp with no real difference cost in the "kit".
