I've decided to go with new heads. We're gonna clean up and resurface the old ones so if you know anyone wanting some 302 heads, let me know and I can get 'em the specs. I've looked at aluminum, GT-40, and still have my old 289 heads that would need to be rebuilt. Give me some ideas without breaking the bank.
What I've got: 289 that's been bored +0.040 running the edelbrock performer package. Cam specs are:
ENGINE: FORD 289-302 V8
RPM RANGE: Idle-5500
Duration at 0.006" Lift: Intake: 270° Exhaust: 280°
Duration at 0.050" Lift: Intake: 204° Exhaust: 214°
Lift at Cam: Intake: 0.280" Exhaust: 0.295"
Lift at Valve: Intake: 0.448" Exhaust: 0.472"
Timing at 0.050" lift: Open Close
Intake: 5° ATDC 29° ABDC
Exhaust: 44° BBDC 10° BTDC
Centerlines: Lobe Separation - 112° Intake Centerline - 107°
I've got hedman elite long tube headers and my block was decked 0.010 when we did the rebuild. Now, the engine had been rebuilt before (many moons ago by PO) so it's safe to assume the block had been decked at that time considering that's when the cylinders were bored. I've got the measurements of piston to deck clearance at the house but that really shouldn't come into play here. So, what's your thoughts?
