Amen to that........forged is much better than "Coated" cast pistons. otherwise looks like a good start. Good luck
exactly, i have those cast keith black pistons and they suck.

My father says if I get USED GT40 heads, I'm going to have to take it to a shop, and get it reworked, because if I don't, the engine will probably will run like crap, so on and so forth.. Is it true?

Don't use 302 power heads on a 351.

Any reason not to?

Not questioning your experience, just asking for future reference and knowledge.

ya the heads will not perform anywhere near what you want them to, and they will fall on there face aroung 4500rpm on a 351.
