I've got a really low mile 86 HO. I'm guessing less than 30k. All tolerances are well within specs. It's out of the car, on a stand. I'm keeping the EFI.

Are there any good heads that will bolt on with the flat top pistons?

I was thinking maybe the twisted wedge heads would fit. Along with an eftermarket intake. Motorsport cam with a lope.

The engine's going in a 65 ford econoline with a finished weight around 2500lbs and a beefed up AOD. I'll probably run 3.9o's or so in the factory 9 inch. I have long tube headers specifically for the 302/econoline swap. Exhaust will be about a 3 foot run dumping in front of the rear tires.

Any suggestions to make some good HP. I'd love to be over 300hp. I don't mind running mid grade or premium, it's not a daily driver.

Eric
