Ford Repair: Exhaust Diameter, roller rockers, dual plane
QuestionMy question is what diamter exhaust should I run. I know its more of an advice thing, but I can't get a straight answer out of anyone. Here is what I got:

'82 Stock 302 Heads w/ Proform Aluminum Roller Rockers
Comp Cam 218 Intake 224 Exhaust (both at .050")
.493 Lift Intake .500 Exhaust (Hydraulic Flat Tappet)
Edelbrock Performer 289 Intake (dual plane--low rise)Also have 1 inch spacer.
Edlebrock 600 CFM carb.
Thank you.
AnswerBrett-
Well...you can go with 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" exhaust and be fine. I'd go with 2 1/2" pipes and (if you're swapping them as well) 1 5/8" short tube headers. This should leave you good backpressure while uncorking the exhaust side of the motor. Hope this helps.
