This is what I’m seeing from the first post:
I read that as....”I don’t have any heads for my 340, and from what I just read..... 302 heads are actually a better choice for my moderate build than 2.02 valve X or J heads”.
And to that I say........ I don’t think they are. Correct in my humble opinion
If I have to buy heads to put on a hot street 340/360....... I’m not going to hunt down some crack prone 302’s instead of a set of 360 heads. Agreed- total waste of time
If original looks aren’t a concern, and you’re trying to make some power........ installing some EQ heads are going to be the best bang for the buck. Bingo!!
Just go the whole Magnum heads/valvetrain route.
If you’re only looking to make 325-375hp, some very mildly reworked 1.88 valve 360 heads will easily get you there.
Maybe the 302’s work fine on a milder combo, but after I did that dyno test with them in ‘93, they weren’t even on my radar.Agreed again but you were way before me[/QUOTE]
In essence like I've said in the past--'302's are doorstops and they aren't really good at that either! J.Rob
