Why would you use a 302 kit on a 347? Get TFS FAC 190's and a custom cam and you can make 400 at the wheels if you do it right.

if you make your 347 like "you" want, WE will see a second thread in the near future expressing disappointment, 302 parts make 302 power and that 360 hp kit is flywheel with no accessories

The trickflow kit is designed for a 302. You need someone to help design an engine for you. I would contact an engine builder or at least go off someone else's build and have a cam designed for my application. With the auto, you need to look at transmission upgrades before you pick out a cam. You want a stall or your car will be slow and you might as well throw an explorer camshaft in it.

I use CNC'd Trick Flow heads and an 'off the shelf' cam and I'm making about 400+ to the wheels......
