Cliff, I feel the width of the motor(wider than a 460) will be prohibitive and finding headers will be a big and expensive challenge. I would be inclined to think that a really high end set of heads(maybe Craft stage 111's), bigger cam and better induction set up (webers?) will yield excellent results for the least bucks and have you back on the road the quickest. The weight savings over a 302 will be modest if at all.
