Default Changed my mind..

For a while ive been wanting to do a stock 302ci build and see how much i can get out of it. So ive been ordering parts little by little but recently ive decided to stroke it. Im thinking about a 347 but i remember a freind telling me that a 331 would be better than a 347 because of some oil issues. so what do you guys think? and what company sells good stroker kits? i already have trick flow high port heads, comp cam xe274-12hr cam along with a track heat intake, 24lb injec., 77mm mass air, 1.6 rockers, lifters, rebuild kit. What other stuff would i need to succesfully do this?
Oh and this will be my first build so i would appreciate some advice from you experienced guys
Thanks!

Pretty sure the 347 oil issues are fixed

if you have everything else, all you'd need is the stroker kit. it will come with the pistons, rods, crank, and probably the correct rings and bearings.

depending on what the balance of the motor is, you may need to get a new flexplate/flywheel and a new balancer

stock 5.0 ho balance is external 50, depending on the stroker kit you may still use that or you may use a 28
