Jack: The 302 engines are fun, because you don't have to worry about RPMs especially on the street, the engine was built for 9k and you'll be lucky to get 7500 with stock valve springs even if you miss a gear. If anything, put a small roller cam in it so that you don't have to mess with solid lifters and camshafts going bad. (I guess with a roller, you might be able to get to 9k!) I've had nothing but 302's in my car since I've owned it, that's been a little while now.
