The 5.0 heads will work bolt on but they are not a direct bolt on.
First, the water passages are different which requires some machine work and also the bolts are different sizes between the two heads.
Most people put 351 heads on 302's not vise verse.
As far as engine swap goes: You won't need a different brake booster but you will need the other stuff LX5liter mentioned as well as headers.
Is this going to be EFI or a carb motor?
