Talked too one of thier rep's a few years ago who said they had built a bunch of them for nascar racing. I didn't know nascar raced the clevelands.
Ford Heads: Roush 200cc or less, World Products 200cc or less, RHS ProAction 200cc or less, SVO 200cc or less, Boss Cleveland or four barrel Cleveland pre 1973 allowed. These will be the only heads larger than 210cc. Brodix SPFO allowed. Only head allowed to have larger than 230cc in any class is Ford Boss Cleveland. Any heads deemed of lesser performance value than those listed above will be given .20 handicap. Standard runner height heads only other than heads actually listed above. All heads must be 20 degree except for Boss Cleveland.

Thanks for the info, Kurt. Gonna have to do some digging for some heads one of these days. Had my 4V heads ported and flowed many years ago when we used them on a Clevor engine... Take some real healthy heads to outflow them!!!!! Aluminum with equal or better numbers would be kewl just for the weight savings....and of course Ford does sell the Boss 302 block again....
