We need more details on your current engine to give you any ideas.

Fill in the blanks for me.

Which Edelbrock intake-
Stock headers? Do you mean manifolds-
What is your shift point now and what do you want the power for i.e, street, race etc-
Transmission-
Rearend gears-
Exact cam or if you have all the cam specs, I can guess it will be fine but maybe a little small for 347-
Compression ratio-

I might not be around for a few days due to "stuff going on" but some the others can help you also if you can fill in that requested info for us.

If you don't have a good ignition, thats a good thing to change also. If you have the money, shell it out for an MSD setup. Get longtube headers and full 2.5 inch exhaust. Aluminum heads are nice/expensive, but I've heard that GT40 or explorer heads will work if you dont wanna spend so much.
