    I'd go with something else like a COMP cam.

    Your front sway-bar may no longer be large enough if you put the 3/4" rear sway-bar on there. You should upsize the front.

    Everything else sounds good...

    Sounds like it's going to be a blast once you get it back together.

    Now, about those headers, are they the 1-3/4" primary headers? Do you have the Part Number handy?


    Good luck - and enjoy!

    You should run 1-5/8" primarys with stock heads on a 302. Larger primaries are best suited for aftermarket heads...:cool:

    I think the only difference between the Hooker Comps and Hooker Super Comps is the tubes are about 6" longer on the Super Comps.

    i believe the hooker super comp headers are a little lighter also. thinner material for racing. at least that's what i was told.:)
