I have a 74 motor but with the Edelbrock aluminum heads. I have .488 lift with the standard 1/6 roller rocker ratio. I have been toying with going to the 1/7 ratio which would take me to .518 lift. I am hesitant to do this because of clearance issues. Does anyone know if the older 302s have more or less valve clearance than the later "5.0"s?
