Anyone happen to recall who did the article about head swaps on a 302?

Stock bottom, they just used one intake (I think) and just kept putting larger and larger heads on this thing and making more power.

At some point, they broke even to the point where they thought needed more cam.

I'm going to assume they're also ported quite thoroughly right? If you ask me, by the time you port them, it really doesn't matter what you started with. If he's running that with out-of-the-box heads then he's on to something.


As for the 11R's, now I'm concerned that my pistons aren't cut with big enough reliefs to clear the valves. Gotta do some homework.
