so what you're saying you are not getting heads?? ...your cam, heads intake is determined by your powerband expectations as stated above.yes but not this motor im rebuilding this one just to have a reliable semi- powerful engine while i build the dart block.. so for this rebuild i plan on doing an underdrive kit, roller rocker arms, smog eliminator, bigger oil pan, better oil and fuel pump, and a rear seat delete kit..if you guys have any suggestions please feel free to share.
The 205cc head is what I recommend. You won't notice the low speed "lag" and the 306 will scream up top. And they will be perfect for anything you do lateroh sorry i forgot to put that in. i agree with what you said. no sense in buying heads twice. so i need to figure out which ones to go with that will work for both motors
Unless you already bought the underdrive pulleys don't worry about putting them on. They cause charging issues and really only free up a few hp that you won't even notice on the street. Same with the rear seat delete. Unless you're racing why do it? Just my opinion. Now if it's something you plan on as an ongoing process towards weight savings for "again" racing then by all means go for it but for a street car...bleh! Don't take me wrong it's your car do what you want/like.yes but not this motor im rebuilding this one just to have a reliable semi- powerful engine while i build the dart block.. so for this rebuild i plan on doing an underdrive kit, roller rocker arms, smog eliminator, bigger oil pan, better oil and fuel pump, and a rear seat delete kit..if you guys have any suggestions please feel free to share.

The pulleys have no bearings attached, if something is screwed up it's not related to underdrive pulleys.
With that said, concentrate on doing one engine and doing it right.
So many people come here with these pipe dreams about bigger and better later, probably less than 5% ever get to that point, And when they do it's miles apart from using basic 302 parts.
A dart based engine with quality parts is a 10k project by itself, then you need a car that will support that much power without killing you or destroying itself (trans, brakes, rear, suspension).
So, if you don't have 15-20 thousand dollars sitting around waiting to be spent on your car, just build a good 306 based setup while concentrating on getting the whole car right.
If you really want to use the same heads in the future, buy twisted wedges and when you get your 363 have TEA cnc them.
And removing the back seat is not only pointless, but looks horrible.
It never occured to me that the pulleys didnt have bearings i just remember on my old brono that the a/c pulley seized up and now my alternator in my mustang is beginning to make a similiar sound. so i figured by replacing all the pulleys while the motor is pulled would be wise
Finances are'nt what im worried about its the know how, and thats why im here. That and to be part of a group that shares the same love for these cars as i do and hopefully finding some people that are near my area.
I dont see how removing that back seats are pointless. If weight is something your worried about, than removing non key components such as rear seats would lighten the vehicle. As far as it looking horrible, to each his own
Aside from being able to drive my car while I spend time on building a motor that's going to take awhile to build your right there isn't much point in building two motors but that's how I want to do it. I'd rather screw up on a stock block than a 3k-4k block. Its a learning experience for me.
And if removing weight from the rear of the vehicle is bad and adding a rear seat delete kit adds weight than once again how is doing a rear seat delete kit a bad thing?
