the stock heads are going to limit you. you could have them ported for more perforomance or start looking on craiglist and ebay for parts. i saw a cobra intake on ebay yesterday for something like $70. you can always find some cheaper parts there.

Why bother putting a 302 in it? Why not just put a 351 in it? Then you could get away with hardly doing anything to it to make the same power as you'll make with the 302 with heads and any other garbage. Cost for you would be the same for a 351 as it would for a 302, and you start with a better engine and more power. Then anything you do to it will have that much greater of an effect. The parts all interchange between the two, except the intake, which is super easy to get a hold of for a 351 with a carb. So basically, the cost will be the same in the end, and you have a bigger, tougher more powerful engine. That's my 2 cents.
