Bro, the only people I've seen that want to even screw with those heads are the ones on a low budget and the ones that have to because of the class they are running. Those heads are the biggest downfall of the late model 5.0. You know those heads were designed for a 221 out of the 50s(I've stated it enough through the years). If Ford would have given us some decent heads in 1993 we wouldn't have had to add blowers and such to keep up.
I love the 302, I still think its the best engine I've ever owned. I beat on my stock 302 for over 10 yrs and it still kept coming back for more, even after the blower!! Good engine, no doubt about it!
I'm glad some others came on and said their piece because I thought I was going this one alone. You just can not compare a simple 306 rebuild to a 331 stroker engine in performance and longevity.
You would honestly rather have a shot-peened stock rod than a 4340 h-beam??
