351w need some help

A buddy of mine just had this grandfather pass down a 1977 f100 to him that he bought new. The truck has a 302 in it that no longer runs. A piston shattered. His grandfather gave him a 351w out of a mid 80's ford truck and It has no heads or intake or carb. Just everything from the deck to the oil pan. He's wanting to get a little more power out of it. What are the best production Heads I can go to a junkyard to get? He doesn't have a smart phone and no internet. That's why I'm posting for him. He doesn't have much but he slept in that truck last night. It's his baby and it's all he's got really so I'm wanting to help him get it back on the road.

Aset of heads from a 96 97 Explorer.I dont remember I think those are the better ones. Intake would have to come from a 351w. Only think that will change from the 302 to the 351 is valve covers and The front of the engine stuff. It will bolt to the 302 trans and motor mounts.
