Rick, Ron fixed the pictures, please look and advise me........
I did check over the AFR heads and they have a smiley face looking curve milled in the heads with what I assume to be the steam holes drilled in them... the curved area would accomodate varouis steam hole locations in varouis blocks, I think????
If this is correct, then my heads should be ready to go, but AFR advises to put the head gasket on the head and be sure the head has the steam holes to match the gasket, which I plan to do anyway.......once I get the correct gasket, the gasket on the photo was a used Fel Pro for a 302/351-W I used to check the piston-to-vavle clearance, not the correct 351-C head gasket, although they are supposed to be the same thickness compressed.....
