Those 262's are awfully hard to find- - - -plenty of 305's out there! The smaller bore also limits the size of the intake valve pretty severely. I like to run a 1.75" intake and a 1.6" exhaust in a 58CC 305 head with a little pocket porting under the valves. That's the same combustion chamber size as the old 283 "Power Pack" heads, but they've got the tapped accessory holes on the ends of the heads.
It's heresy to mention it here, but the 62 Ford Fairlane had a 221 cubic inch OHV V8 on the same block as the 260, 289, and 302!
