Default Another Head Question

I'm going over to a friends today to pull some parts off of a siezed 85 351W , and was wondering if the heads should be one of those parts? I'm pulling the cam, starter,and fuel pump.... Anything else I should pull? Also if I get the heads, what's involved in installing them on my 302? Thanks for the help!!!

The heads should fit on your 302, but the cam most likely will not. Depending what car it's from, it probably has the tappet cam, not a roller cam.

You can always sell it though... Why not take the block and rebuild the whole motor to a 408????

Blah...I should have read your sig, but I'll just blame it on you

Seriously though, you should think about a 351 rebuild or even a 408.

If I got a free 351 block, that's what I'd do.
