Default need intake advice- high flowing for future turbo

I'm looking for advice on an intake manifold and plenum. Yes, I have searched.
The reason I'm asking again is b/c this will not be going on a simple bolt-on car. I'm planning on going turbo, and want to build up the car with that goal in mind. The car will be a strip/street car and isfuel injected.

As I'm planning out my engine build up, so far I'm thinking:
347 stroker kit
AFR 185cc heads (emissions-legal)
probably the E303 cam (again, b/c it has to be emissions-legal)

Also, would it be a good idea to also get a 'main girdle'? Found one that comes with ARP Main studs. Yes/no?

Just need some suggestions for higher-flowing intakes.
Thanks!!

Im a fan of the victor efi spyder intake, but I dont think it has a port for the pcv so there goes your emissions

The only reason the 185 are under the emissions legal tag is because they have the hookup for smog pump lines it does not mean you will pass emissions with it. If your going to use a turbo i wouldnt waste money on a stroker kit and block work because you can pump up the turbo and max out the block alone with it plus youd have a better chance at passing emissions. Theres guys with just gt40 irons e cams and gt40 cast intakes not the tubular with a turbo pushin well over 400 whp. But as for your original intake question i prefer the tubular gt40 it looks the best by far in my opinion and performs pretty well especially with lower port work.

if your planing on turbo i would go something like a holley systamax or bbk ssi. but yea with a 347 and turbo you will be over kill on the block they are only good for 550-600 if they are properly preped and blueprinted.

1.) +1 forget the 347 part ..... no need .... rebuild it as a 306 stock stroke.

2.) AFR 185 good heads

3.) E or F cam will be ok ......... but not on a 347 just on a 306

4.) If need emmission then you need EGR port on intake. Holley SyS-II is probably best choice then
