318 build using 302 heads

its not the cylinder bore that shrouds the valves its the lip in the combustion chamber of the head! 2.02s fit a 318 bore just fine,myths spread by those who dont have a clue!

Exactly true. When you do the REQUIRED cutting for the larger valves, you ARE deshrouding the area around the intake valve so the shrouding issue is a non issue.
