New here, looking to expand and gain some knowledge, I've been on the same forum for a few years and thought I would try something new.
I have a 302 roller block .030, speed pro H273CP pistons with -8cc relief, stock rods, ARP hardware throughout. Block has been 0 decked and balanced. I'm currently waiting on heads and cams and I'm unsure and getting different answers about what direction I should go in.
First off will the pistons I have accept 2.02 intake valves?
Here is the rest of my combo. 68' coupe, T5z w/2.95 first and 0.59:1 fifth. 9 inch rear, nodular case, 4.30 gears, 31 spline locker. Carb is a Biggs 650 DP, intake I'm currently running is performer rpm, headers are 1 5/8 primary 3" collectors though 2 1/2 exhaust. Msd dizzy and 6al ignition
Want to put the car in the low-mid 12's on motor with slicks of course,
Here's where I stand, I currently need to decide on heads and cam for the 306. I was thinking a set of performer RPM heads with a custom cam, maybe solid (Cam research?). Unsure if I will keep current intake, may swap over to vic jr. or air gap.
I need to know that 2.02 valves will clear those pistons before I get heads, I have measured and it appears they will fit, others say yes and no, but I'm unsure of the exact angle the valves intersect the pistons at.
I know AFR's are nice, I was thinking 185's but they are a little pricey$$$. on top of that my headers will not work well with those heads. Any ideas? I appreciate all info.
thanks in advance
