Here is what I'm after. I want to build a motor for my daily driver '72 Maverick that I can safely take to 6,000 rpm when I take it to the track which is not often. I just want to know what machine work I should have done such as balancing and all that. What compression ratio can I run with 87 octane? I'm planning on using an Edelbrock Performer RPM and 600cfm carb that I just installed on my stock 302. Also, what kind of head work should I have done? Or would I be better off buying some aftermarket aluminum heads? I have a '73 302 parts car that still runs but I would like to rebuild it for my '72. I'm on a very limited budget because I'm 16 and I have to balance school and my minimum wage job! :-) Any advise is appreciated!
Thanks
