I am getting a 402 stroker setup, but I have Cartek stage II-x heads. Will these heads work with the stroker? Do I need to do anything to them to make them work properly. Or should I just get new heads?

They will work, but with 66cc domes, you might be over the desired pump gas level. If you plan on running race gas all the time, you'll be fine. A Ported LQ9(6.0 Truck) head will give you better power and you will be able to run on pump gas.

You can run them but you will need to get some of the CC taken out of the pistons. Also might want to chambers on the head exstended so you dont have that over hang. Not sure on what it is call
