347 Street Fighter Piston Head
Coast pumps displacement up to 347 ci by including a unique custom piston that makes the 347 Street Fighter a more reliable engine than other available 347ci strokers. This design keeps the oil ring out of the wristpin hole, which eliminates oil-control problems.

347 Street Fighter Roller Tappet Camshaft
Even if you're stroking an older 289 or 302, we suggest stepping up to a roller tappet camshaft in your 347. A more aggressive cam profile helps your engine digest more air and more fuel, which improves torque.

347 Street Fighter Oil Pump
Coast High Performance uses high-volume oil pumps in all its Street Fighter engines. Volume-not always higher pressure-keeps things lubricated under demanding conditions. Remember that the rule of thumb with oil pressure is 10 psi for every 1,000 rpm. If you expect to tach your 347 to 6,000 rpm, then you're going to need at least 60 psi of oil pressure at that speed.

347 Street Fighter Main Cap Girdle
The optional main-cap girdle stiffens the block for high rpm use. Think of the stud girdle as you would the 427ci cross-bolt design: It stiffens the main caps.
