Forgot the valve size, but 302's have used the same size valves for about the last 25 years it was in production....same size as 351W's.

86 heads suck tho. Swap them with a set of E7 heads (87 up I believe) and port the exhaust side of them. They are a much better head.

I think you'll find the E7's on just about every 5.0 car and truck from 87 and up. Get a nice used set off a crown vic or a truck. They're less likely to be beat up!
