Will 5.0L GT heads fit on a 351 Windsor block?

DoctorRons66 · Aug 13, 2003

My son wants use a set of ported/polished E7TE heads on the 351W that I bought for him but noticed a little problem with the bolts. Any ideas on this?

Thanks,
Ron

The bolts and bolt holes on a 351 are bigger IIRC The same reason that you need speical bolt washers to use 351 heads on a 302(5.0L)

I believe you can just drill out the heads to make them fit correctly.

289/302's use 7/16" head bolts. 351W's use 1/2". You must drill them out, preferably on a drill press or mill. Also use a later model 351W intake. Early versions used 2 extra bolt holes per side.

You'll need to drill the bolt holes out to 1/2".
