I agree I like the 331

Now with the amount of time and money you are going to spend building your current engine into a 331 or 347 you should really consider just buying a crate engine already built
How many times have you seen a engine build go badly? Cost way too much? Take way too long? I have seen it very very often. When trying to cobble together a stroker engine from a small block, many times it is a much better idea to just save up and buy one already built, from a reputable builder who does this all day and gives you a warranty.
Now with that disclaimer out of the way the SBF stroker "kits" have come a long way and there are many many streetable trucks running around with 347 these days. So do some research and pick whats right for you!

When you say your 2000 engine is knocking I say, from where? Lower end knock like a crank bearing? Are you sure its not just a broken exhaust manifold or EGR tube leaking? Just want to make sure

Does anyone make a crate motor that will drop in?
