If you are going for mild street performance, the 302’s are great. If you think you will want more street/strip performance, forget the 302’s because they just don’t flow well enough to make big power.

The 318 I had years ago ran a little over a half second faster with my ported J heads, compared to my ported 302’s…but the 302’s were much more “driver friendly” due to the better low end torque.

If it were me, I would save the money that was earmarked for the port job (maybe for some nice heads).
