RE: H/C/I questions
first off. 185cc heads are WAY too big for a "stock" 302. Something like a 331 or 347 high compression stroker would benefit from the larger ports, but on a small motor you are just wasting your time... unless your boosted.
As for a cam, I had posted one before from crane cams that will fit nicely with 1.6 rockers as long as you upgrade your springs. and when it comes time for the rebuild, you can use this same cam with 1.7's as long as the assembler knows enough to fly cut the pistons
onyx cobra might remember the conversation on this cam. He says it wont fit with 1.7's even though i had a mustang mod shop tell me it will fit.. but then again... you never know

see, the thing is adder...i dont know what the hell you're talking about! i get the comment about the 185s, i wasnt going to use those anyway b/c i know they're too big. but what do you mean by 1.6 rockers? or 1.7s? see, i just dont know, those numbers are like french to me, what kind of stuff can i use with this setup? i feel like a 'tard but i just dont know what the numbers mean with any of this stuff.

RE: H/C/I questions
Adder if that was the same cam as before then i appologize, i didnt see that the lift was for 1.7 rockers. That should barely fit (they said .530 intake was max, idk bout exhaust) but that looks like a decent cam, good amount of duration, but at 050 its still the same as the Steeda #19 I'm goin with. I hate how that site lays out their cam specs, what is the LSA?
PX, im pretty sure the '86 is for the 165s, im almost 100% sure all 5.0 pistons have to be cut to run with the 185s, Trickflow advertises their Twisted Wedge heads as the only head with a 2" intake valve that will fit on a stock 5L...

RE: H/C/I questions
i dont get it, how can heads be "too big"
if you way over-do it, would the engine just be breathing free,
and use as much flow as it needs?
or are you guys just talking about it being a waste of money?
