Which head gaskets?
I have an 86 f-250, 351w with e7 heads (got rid of the old E5 heads). Wondering what head gaskets will work fine? Part number and can I get it at the local NAPA or so? Thanks.

According to my research the FelPro 8558 PT-1 works from the early 429-460 engines all the way up. What kind of intake are you using? E7 should be EFI heads, F3 is later EFI heads. I have a set of each, E5 on the truck, E7 for intial EFI conversion and F3 for "project 468.3" to be built later.

Yeah, I'm using efi mustang heads which are a bit better than the old e5's. My stock E5's had a burnt valve so I stuck my stock mustang heads on there. Intake is stock 86 351w intake.
