RE: Top End Kit?
Any problems now? Oil leaks, burning oil? Compression test? It will probably be ok but not a bad idea to rebuild now cus gaskets aren't cheap...better to buy them once. I would think you should be all good though.

RE: Top End Kit?
have them do a compression check on cylinders to
see if rings are still sealing good.
If you dont have a bunch of blow-by you should be fine.
If low compression maybe do a bottom end overhaul.
you can get stock short blocks for like $500. That a minimal
extra investment in my opinion when dropping over 2 grand on
top kit.

RE: Top End Kit?
Hey I'm looking to get the same kit as you are. You will need 24lb injectors if you get a H/C/I such as the trickflow kit. You could still use the 24lb injectors on the 347 but are getting really close to having to switch to 30's depending on how many bolt ons you have. Good luck.
