I like CHPs kits or DSSs kits.

I personally am going to go with DSS, but if you like CHP go with the "Street Fighter" or the "Pro Street" as they do not burn oil. The "GT" kit does....and I know this because they say so. I called them.

Eagle makes a kit too and I have heard good things abou them.

Summit makes a kit too...but I have no feedback about them.

IMO Coast High Performance. They pioneered the oil consumption fix for the 347, they definatly know their stuff.

Do you plan on building this motor all yourself? The reason I ask is because its usually much better in the long run to have an engine shop build them. The reason being is that a machine shop will be able to build the engine the correct way by doing things that most people dont have the capabilties to do themselves. Its little things that they can do like measure crank trueness, then line bore, square the deck, and hone, that make those few extra ponies and will make your engine last that much longer.

No but you can take it to a machine shop and get it done. It's the cheaper route to DIY.
