Default 302 ford motor

Was there any year or vehicle that for produced the 302 motor with
aluminum heads?

I have a 1968 302 that I want to put a set of cheap [weight reduction]
aluminum heads on, or a 302 motor that has aluminum heads.

Aluminum heads and cheap don't go together...

Nope. you'll need to go Ford Motorsport or aftermarket. About the
best factory head Ford offered for the 302 was the cast-iron GT-40 or
GT-40P heads.

Either that or save your pennies for the 600HP version of
the 302, coming from Ford in 2009.

Is that the Boss 302? I thought it was already available.

I
don't think any 302 motor came from the factory with Aluminum heads,
they were all cast iron.

Like was stated before the best heads for the small block Ford were
the GT40 heads. And you can get a set of those from Ford Motorsport.

And right, cheap and aluminum heads should not be used in the same
sentence.

Go to eBay. Search for SB Ford Aluminum heads. You'll find what you want.
