i've never heard of those heads but like you said, cheap...im sure thats exactly what they are. also to let you kno, no 2.02 valve will fit in that motor or any late model 302 w/out notching the pistons. especially the 86 with those flat tops. unless they are twisted wedge heads or some head that has the valves aranged like that

if the heads you are planning on using are of a inline valve construction and not of a canted style like twisted wedge heads are then the 2.02 set up for inline heads and a tfs stage 1 cam will not work in part due to the fact that 86 motors do not have provisions built into the pistons for valve reliefs
