351 windsor heads on a 302 - info please

[DAVID GAGNARD]

Darrell;

All 302 intakes and I'm assuming an intake for a carb will work with 351 heads,as a matter of fact,from about 1980 or so,the 302 and 351 shared the same head,by that time Ford only made one small block head and used it on all 302s and 351s.....

You are going to spend more money building the 351 heads than you think and not gain as much as you think,believe me,been there,done that...........

If you already have a 91 roller block or at least shortblock,I would look for a pair of 90 to 95 302 heads that came on the GTs...These heads can be made to flow reasonable numbers for you purposes with just a little cleaning up of the exhaust and bowls..... The 90 to 95 GT motors had an advertised hp of around 225 to 250..... With a little exhaust port work and a little more cam,some roller rockers you could be at or near 300 hp....with a very dependable street motor that you will enjoy driving and give you plenty of miles of service....

I have seen these heads for sale for almost nothing from the Mustang guys upgrading to alum heads....Look around for a set,get the exhaust ports cleaned up (remove exhaust hump),add some roller rockers,get them shaved the minimum to make sure they are perfectly flat and get a good vavle job done to them and your ready to go.........

BTW; if you would like,I'll GIVE you a set of early 351 heads COMPLETE,just like when I pulled them off the motor,I think I have three or four sets in my shop,they are still there for a reason,i.e.,there are a lot better heads for the money out there.......
