Mainly looking to take the weight off the nose of the car here. I don't care much about performance. The 302 is going in an 85 mazda so the power to weight as already retarded.

Where would I go to get the cheaest alum heads? Used/rebuilt is fine with me. I can't seem to find an undamaged set for under 1000. Where should I look? And what type of prices should I expect? Are alum Gt40s the way to go?

Thats more what I'm looking for! Big chambers are fine with me... 2200 lbs don't care much about low end...

Which series GT40 head is alum and what cars did they come on?

I don't think the aluminum versions were stock on any cars.The only one you might be able to get somewhat cheap are y303's.I got mine for $680 last summer.See the Ford Racing site for info on their aluminum heads.
