Take a close look at that 347ci engines parameters and the design.
The Pontiac engine as designed as Milepost said, "Tweener". With the bore space limitation, comes the bore size limitation, then the cylinder head valve size. The original design was to move heavy street cars in a low RPM operating range. The Quest (no pun intended) for increased power will always come with a price, moving the RPM range higher. Bigger bores, shorter strokes, lower deck heights, compact induction systems. All of the requirements to go beyond the point we are today.
