If its still fine go to a 306 with some ARP Wav Loc Rod bolts keep the stock crank and rods get some forged pistons, get the block fully machined, then bolt it all back together for a cheap rebuild ... if you want more power spend the cash and stroke it...

RE: engine??
No but if you keep the stock heads you wont make much HP unless there are severly ported and decked......it all comes down to how much hp you want....and how much you want to spend... you can go on EBAY and pick up a cheap stroker kit with a new crank rods and pistons..... but if you keep the stock heads then you are shooting yourself in the foot.... I would get a stroker kit off ebay, but the trick flow package for 2 g and with the 347 and that package you are making deadly N/A HP plus it comes with everything you need top to bottum
