I was just wondering like on a budget or a car you dont want aluminum heads on if the 302s could match. What are size valves are in a factory eddy?
I personally don't like the look of aluminum heads I guess I'm weird but I'm also not a racer I like an authentic and original appearance engine in a classic car.

I *prefer* the "302" heads on a stockish 318 shortblock (as per Chrysler's results confirming), with the high port velocity and small chamber. I add 360 valves with associated bowl blending and deshrouding of the chamber walls (milling to reduce the chamber volume back to stock) and port match the intake ports to 360 size (except for economy, mpg oriented builds where a small port intake is used) so any 340/360 intake can be used without port mismatch.
