No; it will not run @ 8000 continously, I'd say. But Eagle sayz 8000 is fine with the "2000" rod bolts.

I was quite sure the long rods opt'ed for longer dwell period and less rod/ cylinder wall angle which again means it will take more beating.

So, what are you refering to whan you say it can't stand the 8000 rpm beatin'? Rotating mass?

Rune,
I have a (very) old setup book from Warnefords in Australia which gives baselines for IDA's etc ( No IDF- they had not been thought of). It has been very close to the mark with most stuff I have fitted webers to & the jetting should be transferable to IDF's since they are similar in principle- at least it has been so to date on other guys stuff I have made recomendations on. Book is out of print now )

Weber jetting is configured around two main items- individual cylinder size & chosen choke( main venturi) size. Once you have chosen those with consideration to an honest assessment of how you will operate the car, then you choose your main jets-air correctors- emulsion tubes- pump jets-secondary/aux venturis. Camshaft choice is very important as well- webers dont like close lobe centers such as those used on many modern sprint/circle track motors from todays world.

While the 5.4" rod in your 347 is longer than the std 302 ( 5.09" ), your actual rod ratio in the 347 is 1.588/1 where the 302 is 1.696/1. Not saying it cannot or wont rev to 8000, just that its asking a lot with that ratio & rod angle. The rotating mass isnt a concern- piston dwell duration at TDC ( shorter ) is.
