If you dont get the rite cam, the engine WILL be a JOKE, no matter what it sounds like. I would rather my engine purr and run correctly, than be lumpety-lumpety and run like ass. I understand having a budget or no budget, but with the parts you already have I would just wait and build this thing rite the first time, cause it sounds like the way its headed youll end up with a 347 that sounds mean, but would get beat buy a bolton 302.

My suggestion would be, send the 347 kit back to summit. then you will have 1500 bucks, take the block do a 306 rebuid with oem style forged flat tops, Have a custom cam built for the 306, get upgraded valve springs and retainers for the procomps, Buy an intake for the combo, your cam builder should be able to suggest an intake., get all the little stuff push rods, lifters, gaskets, a better carb., oil pump etc....
or keep what you have minus, timing gears, intake, carb.
and just build it when you have the money to do it rite.
