Sure - just need to drill out the head bolt holes to 1/2". I set mine on a piece of plywood and drilled them in the press in two steps..

There's quite a bit of information on these if you look around a little.

+1 you do need to drill them, but they can and should be used. Gt40/40p stuff is great for cheaper builds.

no cause they will still be to wide considering it is a 351. it would be the same as bolting up a set of stock 351 heads on the block. you will still need a 351 lower. and you will need a 351 distributer since the bearing on the 351 is bigger than the 302.
