My version of a factory parts build 318

302 heads are LA heads that came on a 318 only.
J heads have a 915 casting number.

No. But it may help get to the target goal for power.
Key word - may.

Depends on the plan of attack. Someone could also say it’s half way there. Next is a cam and headers and be done with it.

I try very hard not to settle on things because when you could have and settled, you always say to yourself “I could have had….”
Thanks for straightening me out I did check my heads and they are 915 so do the 302 heads have the larger size cast intake runners and ports?
