I have an 86 f150 with a 5.0. It was stock fuel injected but has been changed over to carb. I am in need of a valve job so I had a question about heads. I have a set of E7 heads from a 1995 that I want to have gone through and prepared so I can just do a swap instead of pulling stock heads off and getting them redone. Will the heads I have work on my motor. I know it is a flat tappet motor. This is my daily driver and I do not care too much about performance.
Agreed. The stock heads were just about as bad as it got, so the E7's should be better. The only thing to check is if they are the same combustion chamber size. I think the stock ones should have 69-70 cc chambers.
I agree, and as long as he isn't changing the pistons he will be fine. I ran a compression ratio check and if he's running 70 cc heads at 8.0:1 compression ratio he will be running 8.5:1 with 64 cc heads.

I thought the 70 CC heads were 8.4:1 compression with stock pistons?
