Honestly they look like decent heads. However, I think you can get Trickflow TW's or AFR 165's for around the same price. And I know they both perform well, especially the AFR's.

They're a great head, just not great for a stock 302. I would stick with something in the 165 (AFRs) to 170 (Twisted Wedge) range for a stock, or mildy modified 302. If you plan to build a 331 or 347 in the future, the Canfield 192s would be a good choice.

pistons will most likely need notching for the AFR 185s, I am happy with my 165s although I don't really have anything to compare them to.
