I like kit 3 but I think it's a stroker. I also think that those pistons are overkill.
All you really need are something like Ross forged pistons in a .030 oversize. I'd use the moly type rings...
I've heard some bad stories about TMD but then you can hear bad about everything.
Check out Ford Racing as well as Summit......

I really think that in order to anything out of a 347 you need to get good heads.
Think of at least $1200 more into the project. Be real careful on the heads as there are about 70+ differant ones out there and you can get to much for heads heads real easy.
The most ecomical may well be the Roush iron heads for as little as $850 or so and then you can easily go as much as $2000.....
