Exclamation 351W head question

Hey guys i have a 351w i am puttin in place if a toasted 302 ho. Upon tearing into the 351 i found water inside. I turned it over and pushed most of the rust out but one of the cylinders ended up with some pits in it. Im not sure that honing the cylinder will do away with the pits.. My question is will my 302 heads work on the 351???? Ive read i will have too drill out the bolt holes too half inch... I work at a machine shop so that is no issue but will that be all i have too do??? I cant afford aluminum heads or new cast at this point so i am tryin too improvise since this is my daily and im immobile without it running... all input will be greatly appreciated!

Yes the 302 heads will work and as noted will need to be drilled out for the larger head bolts.
