502 Build Head and Cam selection
Hello everyone, I just picked up a 502 gen 6 short block. with SRP 281916 (flat top) Pistons. My question is what heads and cam would be Ideal for this short block to make maximum reliable power? Assuming aluminum heads are the way to go. Also would like to go with a Crane Hyd Roller Cam just not sure which one.
Feel free to PM me if you do not want to post, Thanks Tom

AFR 315's or the 305's with chamber and bowls CNC'd will be the best money you can spend. I have a NA 524 pushing a Velocity 280 around 90 with a full tank and 4 adults. Check with Bob he will tell you the same and get his cam he knows what works for boats.

It depends on the compression and fuel that you want to run along with how stout you plan to build the bottom end. Also, what exhaust do you plan on using? What max RPM are you wanting? Set your power goals then adjust them to your budget.
