Thread: 402 (.030 over)

well you will need the 102 cc to keep the 9.1 to run any kind of cam .if you use a big chamber head with more cc you will lose steam CR and have a pig. them old heads i would say could make 400 hp with a small roller cam that is were you should put your money not in the heads that will not work. i am not up to speed on the procomp heads i do not use them.they make a 102cc head? and a small valve them396/402 bores are small you very well could be cutting the deck for the intakes valves to clear as well as cutting them pistons for the bigger intake valves . get me the casting numbers of the old heads with some work could get you were you want or very close

I have a 402 .030 over with 292 casting heads. The heads are 113cc and with the kb hyper pistons (.180 dome), and .039 gasket, I am getting 8.8to 1 static compression. I would find some heads like casting 292, or 840 with a 113 chamber and clean up the bowls. I put 1.88 exhaust valves in mine. Go with a small roller cam. Look at Howards cams 222/234 .577/.579 112 lsa. This would be a good choice and it is $500 with roller lifters. I'm running a crane power max flat tappet 216/228 .520/.515 112 lsa. it pushes a 4000 lb car through the traps at 14 flat spinning the tires. I have run several roller cams on the desktop dyno and the howards cam above surpassed all with amazing torque figures and horsepower. Save your money and get the roller!!! It will be worth it. Also listen to Pat, he has helped me many times.
