Why do you want to improve the intake flow? It will already out flow your heads and making it flow more will only kill your torque.

what are clevo heads? If you are talking about cleveland style heads then your 302 intake isn't going to bolt up and you shouldn't be using the 4 barrell heads if it did. They have absolutely no low end torque on a 302. When used on the boss 302 they would screem once you got the rpm up but were dogs at low rpm.

i'm using adaptor plates - courtesy of pricemotorsport to adapt the windsor manifold to my clevo heads - they are the 3v chi heads (basically fully ported 2v aussie heads)

Are these heads already drilled for water flow through the intake? Stock type cleveland heads don't flow water through the intake and you need to drill a 1 in hole in the head for water flow.
