What "old" heads will fit on a 302?
 

In my ? about windsor vs clevland "you" say that cleveland heads will fit a windsor? Is that true?
What heads will fit my car and give some more hp than the stock?
Does my heads fit too older 302 and 289 engines?


------------------
-87 GT, K&N, 5-speed, Walker exhaust, no air silencer. timing
75000miles. (This vinter 3,55 and mac 15/8 and H-pipes and a Hurst shifter)
14,61 and 95,59mph

289, 302, and 351w heads are interchangeable, the 351c is different i believe

I believe 2 barrel clevland heads will fit a 302. I think the power gain is worth the purchase. I've never done it but I'm almost positive they fit. There are some other heads that are a good reploacement but I can't remember, I think 69 351 heads are a good replacement.

That is the basic premise behind the 302 Boss. The larger combustion chambers require specific pistons, and the intake was also specific. Makes for a fairly expensive project in comparison, and the power is in the range that made ford go 4 bolt with the Boss block. Very few things are impossible with some creative engineering, and a deep wallet.

Cleveland heads can work with the right intake, headers, and other stuff, but I think you are better off buying aluminum windsor heads.

My 351W Fastback

On a strict budget, get some 69-74 351W heads and do some port work.

Cleveland heads need a lot of modifications. 351W heads bolt right on, but you will need special washers or head bolts. 302 uses 7/16 and 351 has 1/2 holes. 69 & 70 cast are the only ones to use. Porting & polishing the exhaust side is recommended. Unless you get them for free, don't pay a machine shop to compeletely redo an old set, because you'll spend too much. Oh yea, hardend valve seats are highly recommended to burn unleaded gas (machine shop must do this).

Hi! Thank you... time is also money. To much work for soo little?! Best to wait until I have money for trick flow or simular?
