Ah, a Boss 302, music to the ear. The exhaust ports were just a tad too big for normal street use. Edelbrock also makes full aluminum heads to match their intakes. Canted valves, semi-hemi chambers, right sized exhaust ports. Makes a nice street/track engine. The only thing you really have to do is get the 4 bolt crank mains so it doesn't disassemble itself at high RPM. I'm hoping to get the VTA look going on this full sized version. The Vintage 45 wheels will help.
