347 Stroker Build Cost: Kit vs Short Block vs Crate Engine
What a 347 stroker costs depends on how much of the engine you buy assembled. A stroker kit is the crank, rods, pistons, rings and bearings; a short block adds the block; a long block adds the heads, cam and valvetrain; and a crate engine comes with more already assembled, so compare what each option includes rather than the headline number. The current price shows on each product page.
Key takeaways
- Stroker kit: the crank, rods, pistons, rings and bearings; you supply the block, machine work and top end.
- Short block: the block with the rotating assembly; you add heads and top end.
- Long block: BluePrint BP3479CT (front sump) and BP3479RCT (rear sump) are 347 long blocks; you add intake, fuel, ignition, water pump, balancer and flexplate.
- Crate engine: BluePrint BP3479CTF is a base dressed 347 with fuel injection; check the listing for what's included.
- Prices change, so compare the live price on each listing, or ask us to quote your combo.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a 347 stroker cost?
It depends on what is included. A stroker kit is the crank, rods, pistons, rings and bearings; a short block adds the block; and a long block or dressed crate engine adds more again. Compare what each listing includes; the current price shows on each product page.
Is a crate 347 cheaper than building one?
It depends on what you already have and what you would add. A kit build also needs a block, machine work, balancing (if the kit isn't listed as balanced), gaskets and a top end; a crate engine comes with more already assembled. Add up the parts your build needs, compare the live prices on each listing, or ask us to quote your combo.
What parts are not included in a stroker kit?
A stroker kit includes the crank, rods, pistons, rings and bearings. Plan separately for the block and its machine work, balancing where the listing doesn't say balanced, gaskets, heads, cam, valvetrain, intake, fuel and ignition.
