4. Budget of $5000CDN(roughly $4000USD).
5. I'm setting a deadline for June/July...I hope

Thats easy with a 347, A mild 347 at that.

AFR185, Z304, Canfield 192 etc.
The TFS TW heads are a good head but they present some unique problems, Are the pistons in the kit for inline valve heads or TW? To take advantage of the heads on a 347 your average small lazy lobe Hyd roller aint gonna do it, If the pistons are for inline valve heads then dont go with TW heads. I hate the TFS packages, Its a good option if there are no others available.
Individual components!!!

Valve float isnt an issue if the correct springs are used, The spring choice is dictated by the cam used and nothing else. The springs that come with aftermarket heads are there to keep the valves from falling out of the castings when they are removed from the box. Use the right spring for the cam and you wont have any problems.

I like 42s and a minimum of a 255 in tank pump.

Yes.

The TwEECer is a nice product but there are others that offer a much higher level of support.

My 347:
Eagle rotating assembly
SRP forged pistons roughly 11:1
AFR185s
TFS "R" intake
Cam (Jay Allen)
75mm Tbody
30# inj.
HS 1.6 RR
Tremec TR3550
You get the idea, Theres more there but its irrelevant. That ought to give you an idea, We(Me and Dale) are expecting about 410-420RWHP N/A out of it. I am going to make the step up to 42s pretty soon but for now the 30s will have to work.
