You are ok with an HV!
I built my 302 almost exactly the way you did. I had a little more work done on my heads but I installed the HV pump and I kept my engine in my Cobra for two years and raced it the second.
When I decided to go to a BB I had over 5000 miles on the engine. I pulled my 302 and examined all the bearings, ring clearance, etc. The engine looked virtually new except for some carbon build from running my carb too rich.
I assume you went with the 1.7 ratio roller rockers and a roller cam? I also assume you have changed out your distributor gear. I used a MSD "Ready to Run" distributor for the SB Ford engine and I really liked it.
I think you will be ok!
