I'm putting 2.02" valves in 360 heads ...

Hate to say it being (as old as I am) but.....aluminum heads are the way to go. I've been avoiding aluminum heads for many years (they used to be crap) but now that they have the alloys figured out you can't beat the combination of lower weight and horsepower. I know that you already have the heads you want to use (and so do I for my Mopar) but my opinion has changed. When I built (7 years ago) my son's 46 Chevy (350 motor) the machinist convinced me to go with the newer aluminum heads. They worked out really nice. My son has been driving (and enjoying) the car for 8 years now. He wants a big block now, I've purchased a good used big block and plan to go with aluminum heads. Good luck with your build!!
