fit on a 302 4v ports to large for street use but the 2v heads are great street performers they are already modified to fit on a 302 block but edelbrock has some new heads that feature the 4v combustion chamber with the 2v ports for a perfect street head! and they come modified for use on a 302! www.351cleveland.net if u want more info!

yeah the best cleve head that ford made was the (sometimes referred to as a 3v?) aussie head setup like i metioned above 4v chambers and 2v ports www.ausford.com they sell them and block other aftermarket heads etc!! the 2v is the stump pulling head

the idea of the boss was high rpms and top end speed i believe....thats why the low end torque isnt too impressive......

drill water passages and get a custom intake and check ur piston to valve clearence! bush performance makes an intake for the conversion and i believe edelbrock is supposed to make one also soon!
