Its only a smidge more than a 331, and its never been proven that rod angle is what causes premature failure of a 347. Actually no one has proven a 331 is mkore durablw than a 331, the only advantage there use to be was the 347 had the oil ring intersection the cross pin so the motors used oil, but nothing that would be considered a race only mod, besides, thats been fixed for a long time now, also now the pistons are offset compared to the old pistons bringing rod angle nearly identical to the 331. no reason to not gain all the extra cubes possible. There are plenty of higher mileage 363's, higher mileage and higher horsepower, the problem isnt the rotating assembly, its the pos block. Ron is at about the limit with his block anyhow, might as well gain the extra torque.
