318 cylinder head upgrade

Options on the cheap:
  1. Port the 318 heads you have and have a good valve job done....
  2. Get a set of 302 heads, they'll help your compression (my opinion they won't flow any better than what you have and they are often cracked)
  3. get 360 heads and cut them .040, use a fel pro 1008 head gasket. I've never needed to cut the intake to do this.
  4. My opinion, 1 & 3 are your best choices.

There's another thread, can't remember which it is, Rockauto has those 302 heads for a reasonable price.
