I agree, getting the kit wasn't a bad thing to do at all, but wait until you can get some good heads like AFR 185s. They will work well. If you don't like AFR, then I would say go with Trick flow Twisted wedge heads, or Edelbrock Victor Jrs. These are all really good and will make that 347 come to life! You will also want to get a decent cam. I would call Comp and see what they reccommend for your application.

If you don't mind doing it twice, you could have a built bottomend, and install the stock top-end pieces. This will severely restrict the power output. Then, when you have extra money, buy the top-end pieces out when you get time.
Plan ahead.
Sometimes it is best to do it all at once, and sometimes it is not. It all depends on the circumstances surrounding your build, budget, time frame, etc.

Do it! If you have it layin around and can afford to do it now, then by all means. You def need to plan on swapping in some new heads and camshaft soon though to really take advantage of the cubes.
