found nice heads

i found heads that have 1.9 intake and 1.6 exhaust valves, will these work with stock pistons using the HO cam?

Never heard of that company.....Got any info on them?  I couldn't find anything.....The smallest chamber you can use on a flat-topped 302 AFAIK is the TFS heads.....

i thought stock pistons on a SO motor couldnt use TFS heads?
i thought there valves would hit the pistons...

Nope TFS heads are one of the few heads that work with the flat top pistons the SOs have. TurboCoupe50 uses those heads with a TFS stage 1 cam and flat tops with no problem.

I think you should save the $400 and buy either gt-40p irons, or pick-up a set of used alum edelbrocks or tickflow heads.

I bought my edelbrocks used for $700 shipped and they were straight from the machine shop ready to go.

Also look what a 69cc cc is going to give you, under 8-1 compression

I think they'd be decent heads on a supercharged engine.

You're looking at the top piston.  The bottom ones labelled "85-87 HO" are more accurate and still on the low side (those have valve reliefs if they are tru HO pistons).....

69cc is a bigger chamber than stock and will lower CR.  Stock HO CR is determined with a 64 cc chamber.
