Default 347 stoker kit...need help with choosing

Hey guys. Most of you know that I have been in the field for a new mod. Well after research I have decided to convert my 302 with a 347 stoker kit.

I have found two good companies. DSS Racing and Coast High Performance. I am having a hard time choosing which one company I should go with. I have read awesome things about them. I have heard good things about both. But just can't decide.

Can anybody help me out here?

Also would it be worth it to overbore .030" to make it a 351 stoker? Or should I keep stock thickness on the cylinder wall? Or have I studied wrong and a 347 is with a .030" overbore already?

I will be using my stock block for this.

a 347 is bored .30 over already so no you cant bore it to a 351 stroker.

Dss is horrible for motors,I wouldnt get one from them.Coast performance is decent but why not just get a kit and have someone build it for you??Honestly your best bet is to get a 351 because you can never have enough displacement and its more reliable
