351w heads on a 302

I have a set of 351w heads that have been sitting around for a while. Someday I would like to drop a 302 into my '86 Ranger. What would it take to make the 351w heads to fit on a 302?

So you are saying all I'll have to do is unbolt the heads of a 302 and bolt on the 351w heads.

You need to change the head bolts because the holes in the head that the head bolts go though is larger. Otherwise no real difference. Unless the 302 heads are bad you aren't gaining anything putting on the 351 heads.
