Default RE: question on some heads

did you have your gt40s ported or not? and did you have any other mods? or just the gt40s and the e cam?

ya they sound nice but for an almost stock 302 wouldnt that be overkill?
what im planning on is getting some gt40 heads a cam either ots or custom made, an explorer intake, and throttle body, I have a cai which i know doesnt do much, and an off road h pipe and im getting some shorty headers and a c&l 76mm mass airflow sensor. i know that wont put me up to my mark but when i get all this installed and tuned ill go from there to see how i like it there
what do you guys think?

Yep first sentence says it all
(Complete Head (64cc Chamber) For use on 289/302/351 Windsor-style engines Improved air flow over original GT-40 aluminum heads)

Head being the key word.

For 350 at the tire you're going to need more displacement than 302/306 even with the best of heads and aggressive cam...331/347 with a good aluminum head and well matched cam/intake will get you there quite easily. The GT40 alum heads are decent enough but nearly the same performance ball park ask the AFR/TW/canton/Eddy heads.

More important for them to all be close in pressure at least 130, I got the gt40x no complaintes yet, but i got for just under a grand from blue oval, that and i wanted to keep stock compression with my kb

Yep the engine that I just pulled out I am going to do a complete overhaul, slap on some 64cc X heads with a Crane 2030 cam and a Kenne Bell. Still looking for that Notch to put it in, but it should be a good performing little package.
