bigred, yes, you can just enlarge the exhaust side of the e7's and see a gain, most likely, some new springs, and just a little work on the exhaust side would be a kick in power imo.
torque Boxes= Where your lower control arm's bolt onto the frame, there is some thin metal there holding it together, look underside/inside of your rear wheel, i thought id inspect mine one day since im launching on stickies, sure enough, one is tearing, But it is repairable as of now, any more could be costly repair work. Oh, I seen ported e7's (stock valve) and b-cam go 106 mph in a 3100 lb car, was a carbed car though.

Another thing, get some 1.7 rockers for your heads, no matter what kind of porting you do on those stock heads, the 1.7 ratio will take advantage of the larger volumes of air, using stock cam.
Also before many mods, most people strongly believe you need subframe connectors, you cant go wrong with those two mods above, combined with slicks should give some good gains.

I'm actualy building a junkyard turbo kit and my restriction will be the stock block and internals. I will not use the stock heads and intake but i could still make enough power to split the block with them.

i cant agree more with workcar and coupe5oh. i noticed a difference when i ported out the exhaust side and left the intake side alone. i was told that i am "wasting my time" and "wasting my money". I believe for 302 cubic inches, the ported E7, GT40 and GT40P's are your best bet for a budget. I just bought the "P" heads and talked to the guy who Chambers got them from. You would be amazed the little trick things they do to go fast. Anyone have experience with the "P" heads? i want to shave them, but i hear it gets really close.

Every one is talking about porting the exhaust side. What about the intake side? If I port the lower intake and the intake runners on the heads along with the exhaust, will this produce more of a benifit? Or should I just port the exhaust side and be happy with the results? Thanks.

Well, not my car, but...
My father bought his GT new in 91...in 95, he just installed the GT40 intake, 65mm TB, Pro-M Bullet 75mm MAF, Power Pipe w/K&N, 3.73s, Pulleys and 2 chamber Flows. He went 13.9s @ 101 or something like that. The track bug bit him and he started going to the track every weekend, in search of better times.
He got some GT40 Y heads, a B Cam, 24lb inj, electric fan, manual rack, A/C delete, LTs, 2.5 Catted H and Hoosiers and went 13.0s. He lightened the car, got a drag spring kit, torque boxes, 4.10s, M&Hs, had the intake cut open & custom ported and the heads milled and ported. He weighed in at 3010 lbs w/ driver and went 11.87@113.x w/1.5x 60s. He backed it up with an 11.90@112.x. Not bad for a stock bottom end 302. Just sharing...I think I'm gona be getting his heads and intake this summer, he wants to build a 347.

Caymon, the reason everyone ports the exhaust side of the heads is because of the thermactor "bump" on the roof of the exhaust port. I never realized how big the damn bump was until I pulled my heads off. From what Ive heard, it really restricts the exhaust flow.

Well, I used to think that the stock heads were the problem.
But (before blowing the motor) I had a 85 GT with a 88motor, stock cam, stock heads, with intake carb, ignition and fulll exhaust and that little sob ran 105mph. Its focusing on a good tune, and some motors just have it, and others don't. Skyler
