Which company's kit would you recommend or to buy individual parts ?
Is it lower cost to buy a kit ?
My Dove engine is .030 over, would you suggest staying with it or higher ?
What kind of power could it be ?

Kev, given your situation I think you made the best choice. I'd talk to Barry @ Survival Motorsports or Blykins about a rotating assembly. Given your heads (not the best) I'd think somewhere between 500 and 550 hp would be reasonable. Go with an Hydraulic Roller cam, not a solid roller or any flat tappet. You'll appreciate the HP and reduced maintenance. If you were trying to extract every drop of power AND had a very light rotating assembly (high $$) then a solid roller would be the best power ticket.
