Another 302 Head Question
I personally think aluminum heads are a waste.
on your combo probably, most likely, I wanna agree 100%, but have to leave a lil room for...........How much you gotta spend on getting something else to bolt on.
Thing is aluminum heads suck a lotta heat out of the chambers; and if you don't up the cylinder pressure, then you can lose a very significant amount of power at normal rpms and loads, just when/where you need it the most....... in a streeter with street friendly gears and TCs.
And a street teener just can't afford to lose that grunt. If you are staying factory stroke, it's really hard to get the pressure up high enough to take advantage of aluminum heads.
And it would be far more cost effective to just start with more swept area.For stock engines,per cylinder,the 318 is ~652cc, the 340 is ~700, and the 360 is ~750ish. Say you put 78CC total chamber volume on each of these; The Scrs come to; 9.36, 9.97, and 10.6, none of which are really adequate for aluminum, but the 360 is closest by a very significant margin, and so, loses less pressure when up-camming..
