We saved quite a bit of money on the original car and will save some more because Ron will be building the cage, so I thought it made sense to use the savings and splurge a bit on the heads within reason. Now I'm somewhat back in el cheapo mode.

Those heads have aluminum roller rockers. They should work with the new heads.

Default Stock Heads Value

I've got clearance from Joe to sell the stock heads. I was thinking leave them intact and sell them, then use that money to put towards new Aluminum roller rockers for the new heads. Anybody have any idea what stock 302 heads should go for?

I don't think you need to purchase new rocker arms. Have you looked at what's on those heads yet? I think you'll be pleased when you pop open a valve cover.

That'd be even more better I guess. If you're coming to tomorrow night's meet, maybe you and Glenn can come over to my house (literally 2 minutes away) and take a look and give your ruling. Also, you can see the project car's current status.

Still not sure if I'll make it tomorrow night, but if I do, i'd love to swing by. Those heads have Crane Cams Energizer 1.6 roller rockers

Oh, that ain't stock. Do you remember how big the studs were. The head guy needs to know when assembling the new heads.

Thanks Joe. That was the post I was looking for, but didn't look too hard. I'm all clear now.

I'll be there Sunday if you want me to take a look. We can also pull a head and see what style of valve relief the pistons have. If they have the four half moon style the biggest valve we can run is a 1.94 which is what my AFR 165s have. If they have two larger reliefs then we can run 2.02 which is what the AFR 185 comes with.
