Default Forged 347 Stroker Kit?

Where is the cheapest place to buy a Forged 347 kit. Ive got a carbed 306 with AFR's and the heads are too much for the cam and the application. I want a stroker kit and also a pretty aggresive cam to go along with it. Hopefully I can get a couple of answers in one post.

1. Best and cheapest 347 Forged Kit? Who has one?
2. Best cam to compliment that with AFR 185's.
3. For the street would my C4 handle that or who makes a pretty stout AODE that would hold that kind of power at the track and still be streetable?

Thanks. All ive messed with is the modular motors and Im a 5.0 pushrod NEWB!

cheap and good forged 347's shouldnt be in the same sentence, buy a quality kit and save yourself the trouble

coast sells all forged for just over 1500, for under 1200 they have a forged rod/piston cast crank kit. the cast crank will handle more power than a stock 302/ 5.0 block. anything over 525 at the crank is borrowed time.

I know someone who is selling super streeter AODE from Performance Automatic (I think its superstreeter?). Its brand new. He baught it for his 95GT but never finished the project. If you are interested I will ask him how much he will sell it for.

Also, OR if you dont want to do that you can just get one of Performance Automatics performance kits and rebuild the C4 to handle massive amounts of power.

CHP is a great company to go with if you are looking towards strokers.

go with a custom ground cam. thell them your exact setup and what you want your car to do and theyll make one for you. a little extra cash but worth it according to everyone ive ever talked to.
