ok, here we go, i went around to see paul at cve perfomance, and showed him my broken pieces and he said its from the wrong size pushrods,
so, ill be removing the heads and taking to him to be machined and fitted with screw in studs, ill get the heads back, refit and flatbed it to him to see what size pushrods and adjust the rockers.
should be going next week or 2.

Thought that may be the case. you need to make sure you have the correct lenght rods so the angle of the rockers is correct and the wipe the stem correctly.

i think it'll be worth it, but depends on carby, headers and stuff

Why would you use 302 heads? 289 heads prior to may 66 have built in puch rod giudes. Late 302 heads have lower compression and valve/ port size is the same really etc for really early, 289 heads or late heads light GT40 etc. 351 heads have bigger valves but are lower compression when used on a 289.  Also standard rods are fine, just reisze them and fit some arp bolts.

If you do go down this path, dont use 69 heads as they have are small volume and may lead to pinging.
