pulled head
so today i pulled my drivers side valve cover off to adjust a rocker. now i look at it it says 351 on the right side and on the left a 4 digit casting number cant remember it it was 3g**. so this makes me think about whether its a 302 or 351w. it has a burnt exhaust valve and i need to get that fixxed. i was gunna swap for e4 or gtp40 heads but now im wondering it that will work.

RE: pulled head
I dont know about the casting number but gt40 or any ford 5.0 head is interchangeable between 5.8, it might turn out that your 5.0 has 351 heads, difference between a 302 and a 351 is the deck height of the block.

well whats your reccomendation then? find the same head and just replace that side or find 2 different ones and swap them both. and right now i have roller rockers in them. would it be a good idea to swap those over to the new head?

RE: pulled head
it depends on your budget, and what you want to do with your car. Do you want it back up and running again? just take the head to a machine shop and have em do a valve job. Id do more research on the heads you have on now maybe they are ported etc.

Just find out what head is on it & if it's had any work done to it, then replace it. If it appears to have work done, replace them both.
