ok thanks,,but will any head from a 5.0 fit?

turbosha

the 85 and lower dont have roller cams there flat tappet. ive heard the older 302 blocks and the mexican blocks have higher nickel content in the forgings making them alittle stronger

turbosha

all 5.0 heads should interchange besides the boss 302

ive never heard of a wedge head for ford. just about all fords 5.0 heads are junk , i guess if i had to pick , besides finding 93 cobra heads, would be the 87 up e7te stock 5.0 h.o heads just prt the heck out of the exhaust ports there the bottle neck
