    I have a problem, is there a idea in swapping RPM alumium heads in 302, what intake i should use and are RPM heads any good ? I am thinking to get super street fighter from TCI is it any good ?? What turbine i should use 11" or 10" ??

    Thank you already :tiphat:

    The RPM's are a very good choice, get the 2.02 intake valve one's. also use the RPM "air gap manifold". 10in converter is my choice in the Saturday Night special from TCI. Be sure and check valve to piston clearance when installing the heads. Finish off with a set of roller rockers and good ignition system ( Ford duraspark will do too).

    Be safe when your "drifting" wouldnt want to see your mav crash, these cars werent made for that so be sure to check if its safe before you do it.

    I am running the RPM with the smaller valves. (did not want to buy new pistons) I use a Weiand Accelerator with a race demon 650. Running a 3000 stall with 4.11 rear and it moves JUST FINE!

    The 2.02 RPM heads will require notched pistons or new pistons. The 1.90 heads flow about the same numbers due to valve shrouding. You won't hardly notice the difference.
