From the way it looks my cam MIGHT be to big for a 1.90 valve as well with flat tops. If I have to open up my block again I'm just going to build a roller 302 instead so... instead of rebuilding my block just to put diffrent pistons I'm looking for lower end heads that will improve over my stock 79 302 heads until I build a diffrent motor or change my mind again and replace the pistons Anyway, I was thinking of useing some good 351 heads or some reworked 302 heads? What casting numbers are best in these situations?

If it turns out that you can use a pair of heads of a 1969 351W, I have a pair I will sell for $250 + shipping.

69s had C9OZ heads, which were essentially the same as the D00Z from 1970. Slightly karger valves and smaller chambers than what you have. They were the commonly used head for windsor builds before aftermarket heads hit the market.
