I've gone over my kit build up over and over. I thought I had settled on a Coyote / IRS so pivoted all my research towards those builds and the more I learned the more I was driven towards changing.

I'm now thinking a SBF , haven't decided on 347 or 427W yet, it has to be fuel injected, and a 3 link. I just think I can fit this within my budget better, and have more of a chance of completing the build myself, these kits were designed with the SBF in mind. I'll probably go with the Edelbrock Pro Flow 4 over the Holley Sniper though. I like the multi-port injection better, and feel it's a more robust system. The Holley Terminator and HP while probably better just have more things than I'll ever need, not mention, I'd have to have someone tune it for me.

I have no issues with carbs, years ago I did the opposite in my boat. Yanked out the injected 502 and dropped in a 540 with a Dominator on it. Now that the boat is gone, nothing I own has a carb anymore. The sleds, sxs, and all our vehicles are injected. With this vehicle, I just want to turn the key and drive it.
The 347 will be quite a bit less money than the 427 and still have more than enough power for you. And the Edlebrock Pro Flow is a really nice EFI system, check out the new feature it has where you can tune it from your phone.

I have the 3 link and so far I'm happy with it. If you go that route you want to upgrade the lower trailing arms to the Breeze ones. https://breezeautomotive.com/shop/ro...ntrol-arm-kit/
