D8OE heads on D2 block?

Hey guys, I have a good set of D8OE heads that I would like to put on a D2 block, however I'm noticing the water passages are a bit different than the D2OE heads. Will the D8OE heads work on the D2 block?

Sorry, it's a 302.

I'm not an expert on the 302 but I think they will work. Compare the head gasket to the head and the block to make sure all the coolant passages line up.

Hi guys, thanks for the responses. I went outside and took some pictures of a couple sets of core heads that I have. One set is a D00E set, and the other is a D80E set that needs rebuilt. I have another set that I would like to use, but looking at the water jackets, I'm not sure will work. Here's a few pictures:

D80E Head:


D2 Casting Block:


(Notice the difference in water port locations)

D8's make better door stops than cylinder heads. Why do you want to use them? They have horrible quench, small valves, and huge chambers that result in low compression ratios.

I plan on using a set of D8s because I have a set that are very low mileage. I was just going to freshen them up and use them.
