Sorry, I thought you were talking big block. The small block heads are very workable as well. I'm working on a set right now. You may want to use a 1.6 rocker on the intake side.

Here are some flow numbers from a stock head:

Lift....................CFM....................... CFM
Intake EX

.2......................127.....................10 1
.3......................185.....................13 8
.4......................222.....................14 9
.5......................216.....................15 5
.55....................215.....................157

The intake port peaks at .4 and looses air after that point.
The exhaust poops out at about the same lift. Meaning there is an 11 cfm increase between .3 and .4lift and a 6 cfm increase between .4 and .5.

After some port work with the same valve:


Lift..............CFM...............CFM
Intake Exhaust

.2...............126.................111
.3...............191.................152
.4...............236.................178
.5...............242.................184
.55.............246.................186
.6...............248.................187

If I were to go to a 2.02 I would expect a gain on the intake at .4 and higher but would need extensive bowl and short turn work. Not a bad gain for stock valves. An added gain would be to increase cam lift to .550 to take advantage of the extra airflow at higher lifts.
