Why not aluminum?

Confining your head options to iron rules out the vast majority of good heads that would work perfectly on a stroked 302. Really the Windsor Srs are your only real option and they are no where near cutting edge technology as far as cylinder heads go. They'd probably work well enough though and are better suited to the additional cubic inches you have compared to the stockers.

no not at all, aluminum is far better than cast iron, most new cars now days come from the factory with aluminum heads.

aluminum

They don't hold the heat like iron. Your thinking backwards. Heads will wake up your motor with the right cam you will make another 60-80 hp. Thats just bolt on no porting
