THE LAST POST there is more then 3 best heads out there Darts. RHS. few more . GM heads and edebrock older vic heads is the rehashed 861/862 head you want to keep away from that head for the size of engine you have as its a 375/380 cc intake port less you close it down with A&B putty have a set in the shop now they are a old set that the flow number were not the best but had only a 2.250 valve in it but made 850hp at 6500rpm . Yes the PRO Comp intake ports do not line up and the way they lay the port out is off so there is a clif on the back side of port by the push rod if you do not care then they will bolt on thats about it . i am a dealer for brodix. profile. dart.world. and flowed the brodixs race rite heads will not flows posted numbers but flow is not evey thing . if you think it is well then i have real flow numbers on the brodix race rites and the 861. and dart wet flows dart makes a O port head that works nice and pro filer O port is to big for a 402 less you going way up in rpm and it a very lite truck you will need more CR as well so a custom piston will be needed as your dealing with big head chambers for all of the heads as they are working around a 4.250 bore and bigger and many head gasket fire ring is 4.370 to 4.540 .you need to run a big head gastket for that chamber so that kill some CR there.other then afr and eldelbrock make a small chamber heads. i am dealer for them as well if you need a price . icon may make a open chamber piston and wiseco i think makes one as well

well i use alot of dart heads best deal . on my street builds i have used brodix . but you need a small head chamber ? so that cut out a lot of head makers . all heads cost about the same as i buy them bare machine them and load them with parts i want . cheaper over sea head that fits good ? there is another maker of heads flow tec .i may look in to this head and do some testing on it . the pro comps.. i will not used in any of my builds less customer is willing to pay for me to fix some of the stuff i do not like if i work out the time to rework them then there almost the same as a good set you would pull out of a box
