Yes, actually, that has been done. When DSS (i think) was designing and testing their emission legal 347 kit, they put on together with stock heads, cam, intake, t-body, maf, injectors, everthing. i think they used a slightly larger fuel pump, but that's all. unfortunately, since the stock stuff is restrictive even for a 302, it was of course amplified on the 347. it only had about 20 more hp, but did make something like 40 lbs. (30 maybe?) more torque, and at a slightly lower peak. all in all, it was good.
of course, now the car has full edelbrock and puts out 400 something to the wheels, and is still emission legal with cats.
btw, these articles were in 5.0 magazine, i believe. maybe super ford, but i know it wasn't mm&ff. you could look up the info.
