so anyway what is a good aftermarket head you would recomend for a 12:5-1 302 chevy? dome pistons .500 .300 <single profile> cam with an rpm air gap? 4:88 gears 10 inch 3500 stall <thought this info would make it a little easier>

If you want to get buy cheaper order a bare set of the Dart Iron Eagle S/S heads.
Do a lot of bowl work yourself, do work around the valve guide etc,polish the combustion chamber.
Load the heads up with 2.02/1.6 valves same valves springs locks and retainers etc.listed above.
You should be able to get them done for around $750 if you do a lot of the port work yourself.
I have gotten over 450 hp with the mods. done to the Dart heads above on a 383 using a mech. cam and flat top pistons.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
