I am thinking it might be more cost effective to go 347 because with the 351 I will need some swap headers, distributor, lower intake(dont know if they make it for a rpm2) oil pan, and a tranny to handle the power.

so far I am leaning towards the dart 347.
I would like to add a S/C in the future as well as my nitrous and boost the hell out of it.

Build something based off a Dart block if you have the money. As long as you don't hurt a cylinder, you can rebuild at .003-.005 over. The blocks can go .185 over so it could easily be the last block you ever buy. If you're going nitrous, I'd go 351 based. If you are going forced induction, I'd stick with an 8.2" block but buy a big bore.

and you can advertise with your cars and get all that back in taxes for advertisment fee's.....

do dart blocks need any machine work done prior to assembly?

probably the cylinders need honed for the rings to seat properly..

Yes, but not near what an R block requires.
