318 Build - Expert Review Needed

302's aren't a bad head if you use them right.They aren't much different than the early LA heads like the 920's or the 178's or 234's. The closed chambers are efficient and the ports are small but matched to the needs of a 273 or mild 318. Like any engine, the hotter you build it the more port and valve you will need. I think gasket matching and bowl blending can improve any head.
