Optimum setup for 302 heads

Sublime swinger
Thanks for finding that article! I remember reading that and have it printed out around here somewhere. I forgot they had a price break down with part numbers included - a big help.

PM'd Bobby at BJR. It looks like the best valves are 1.78 intake and 1.60 exhaust for what I want to do. Also looks like full porting would be overkill, so I'm asking what other head mods will work best with my planned set up - I'll keep the thread posted.

Moper,
I have a feeling I'm going to end up with a setup real similar to yours - we'll see what Bobby recommends.

C130Chief,
The only nail head numbers I've seen were in a thread here regarding a 915 head. The flow at low lifts (0.1 - 0.3) were lower than standard valves with bowl blend and back cut and the same from 0.4 to 0.6, so I'm not sure if there would be any benefit.

I appreciate all the help fellas.
