Will 302 heads work with an Air-Gap?

I have one of those on my 360. Seems to run pretty good, all the way to 7000 and beyond. It's almost lazy tho from idle to around 1600; but I have a bigger cam(276/110).
With stockish heads and the 262 there are better choices in manifolds than a large-port,large plenum, extended rpm, AirGap manifold.Your cam will be running out, just about where the AG begins to wake up. Put some bigger springs on those valves, so it will rev some, and a DP carb,and see where it goes.
Will it bolt on?yes....Will it run?yes...Will it make power and torque? yes. Will it be fun to drive? That remains to be seen
The zero deck and higher compression will help that's for sure.You already have it, so bolt it on and go!
As for me; I would rather have something to keep velocity up.Like a smallport, small plenum, dualplane.These are snap-to-attention, instant response,BIG fun.Waaay BIG fun with 3.55s or better.
Or just maybe a smallport small plenum, singleplane.
Please keep us(me) informed as to how it drives around town.
