My 302 is also a '74 block .030 over with '70 351 W heads. I used TRW forged pistons with a slight dish. The heads were milled .020 and the rocker bosses milled .025 and threaded for screw-in studs. The intake is an Edelbrock Performer. I did my own porting and bowl relief and matched the intake with 351 gaskets, so the runners were matched. You have to use 351 intake gaskets.
I originally built this engine in 1984 for my Pinto. It's been a good engine and is still in my Cobra. It likes medium grade gas, but will run on regular all day long. I really like this combo and you don't have to rob a bank to build it. Good luck.
