1.7 rockers would get you more lift.

You start moving the power band up and you'll lose low end torque which is important in these cars because they are heavy. A 302 isn't a big OHV V8 so you need to keep the torque down low or the car won't be any fun on the street.

while motor is out up the stall of your torque converter.
