just curious how you liked your 331? I am considering one for a daily driver that gets to go to the track 2-3 times a year...........

That's about what I did with my 347. 57,000 miles later I swapped it for a 514 :) No replacement for displacement. Go get you one and enjoy.

it ran to hot but it was 11-1 its the 3rd motor in 2 years built by someone different each time made 420 at the wheels but wouldnt stay together i mostly raced it cant imagine 3 good shops that cant build a motor a waste of $15,000 in 3 rebuilds i will never own another 331 my gt has 347 with 15,000 miles never had a problem yet but its low compression dont know if thats the difference i run it as hard as the 331 just my two cence Originally Posted by ttocs

Thanks for the reply. I do not drive my car hard and only take it to the track 1-2 times a year for some fun.
If you don't mind, could you pm me who you have had build your motor and who you would recomend or not recomend? I assume you had some bad experiences so I do not want to open a complaint session on your post but would like to know who I should stay away from with such an important purchase so soon.
