Ordered My New Combo

[TJH64]

I can't wait for this to be delivered:
-347 shortblock being built by Woody at Fordstrokers, 5.315" rod, flat top pistons
-Custom billet core hydraulic roller cam by Jay Allen at Camshaft Innovations
-Canfield 195 heads, 58cc chambers, full competition bowl blend, Ferrea valves, Comp cam springs and titanium retainers, by Jay Allen

Heads and valvetrain will be shipped to fordstrokers for final assembly, then the longblock will be shipped to me.

Goal is 11.50's N/A in a 95 with a Tremec 3550 and 4:10 rears.
Only downfall is there is a 3 month lead time on the shortblock.
The wait begins..........

What factors influenced the engine to be built around the shorter rod vs. the 5.4" rod deal?

[TJH64]

It eliminates the piston pin from intersecting the oil ring land. Apparently,this was the fix to the early 347's with the 3.400" rod and their inherent blow-by problem.
