as far as just bolting them to a otherwise stock engine you may grab 30 horses or so but that`s not the beauty of better heads .. they will let you take and engine that will be somewhat stymied at 300to 350 horses with stock heads and go on up to 500 or more .. you know the hi-po 289 was only 271 horse and it had a lot of good stuff but the puny iron heads

I've used them on my last fox. Windsor jr's.
Spend the extra money on better heads. And the rule for the 302's is not small compression chambers. Don't worry about small CC's. Big valves is the way to go. 202 valves for sure.
