David Vizard, Uncle Tony's garage, Unity motorsport. Mission impossible Dodge 302 Head porting

Rat Bastid said
They could have used a 360 head with a 1.88 valve and not spent all that time turd buffing.

Its crazy to tell everyone you are on a budget and you want to make power and then use heads like that and then port them.

Thats cRaZy

Rat Bastid said
Ok. So why start with a head that has small valves and ports?

They could have used a 360 head, spent the money for a GOOD valve job and then spent an hour fluffing and buffing the head and then send it.

Charlie has how many tests on those heads? I guarantee you Charlie isn’t charging them for the work. Or at least not the full bore rate.

I don’t get the waste of time and money to try and prove you can buff a turd.

EXACTLY. If someone comes to me and says they want to build a 318 and port some 302 heads I will tell them to get their head screwed on straight and use a set of 360 head and leave the grinder alone.

Unless you are Running Super Stock or Stock eliminator you leave those castings alone.

Unless you like wasting your time behind a grinder to end up with less than if you started with a better casting.

It’s just stupid using those heads.

Its an exercise in seeing what you can get with those parts. The 360 heads will get bigger valves at some point and seeing the as cast ports on the 360, I’m not too impressed with Chrysler’s engineering. I myself now will NOT port the 302 heads I have. Much is to be learned by watching the whole videos, even if you do it salty. In the end the engine will see ported aluminum heads.

The whole project is for CHARITY. All parts in the end including the engine will be auctioned off for CHARITY. You would be stupid to think that the contributors parts and time will not be written off as business charity expense. The project as a whole has merit.
