Keep it lubed .... keep it straight .... and keep
I don't know.... but I thought that a 3.400" stroke would net a 347 with a .040 overbore. They say .030 overbore. Maybe I'm wrong...... again.

Other costs...
Don't forget that you will have about $1000 to $1200 in machine shop costs to get your $1000 347 kit in.
I would go with a 351 and call it a day since you are planning to swap intakes. There is a good 351 Lightning motor in EHay for $500 bucks right now...

3.40 stroke with a .060 overbore would net you 352CI. With a .040 overbore is 348. That's using the NHRA formula for calculating displacement (bore x bore x stroke x .7854 x the number of cylinders).

I did my H/C/I and now I'm saving for 351 for when I grenade the shortblock
(and hopefully dont take the heads with it), but as long as you get it balanced from the people your buying it from the block work wont cost a grand in fact if you do some searching on what you have to do to clearance the block for a stroker you might be able to to do most of it yourself. Although that is a lot of time and money to put into a timebomb if you start playing with the bottle once you get it done.

If I was considering a 347 ...................
Here are a few things I'd think about.
Whats the price difference between having my current block set up for the stroker kit and a built 347 short block.
Typical 5.0 parts are too small for a 347 so know that up front and some of those parts most likely will cost more.
I.00 to 1.2 rwhp per cubic inch is possible for a 347 street motor that is not too radical so your drivetrain needs to be up to that task.
Your gonna need a custom tune.
I'm not tryin to pee pee in your corn flakes or anything like that but you may find that your 3500 won't go as far as you first might think.
I myself have thought about a 347 many times.

Is $3500 all you have to spend? If so I think you'll be coming up a little short for a 347 kit and h/c/i. I spent over $6000 for my engine including machine costs and short block assembly. Granted I replaced everything from the piston to water pump and almost every sensor, but I really don't think $3500 is gonna make it. And make sure if you get a kit from eBay, it includes all name brand parts. And stay away from a company called Dyno Flo. Good luck.

Trick flow for the money simplicity but looking back I wish I would have done a little different a least done the custom cam route and maybe different intake

If I could do it again, I would go with AFR 165's maybe even the 185's, RPM II intake and a custom cam.
who sells afr's? and where do i get a came ground for me? i appreciate the help guys! im thinking about a used supercharger for under 2 grand, and some heads cam and intake..If i cant fit that all into my budget then i'll not get the heads and cam...BTW this money is from my motorcycle fund, i figure i make my car fast, save up again, and then get a bike so i can enjoy my car before i die.

H/C/I
or
BLOWER
You'll have fun with either one
...... I'd do one or the other 
If you try to do both ...... you'll need LOTS of $$$
and might end up splitting the block, lol
On a more serious note: IF we're talking about a dd ... I'd go the NA route.
