F3TE vs E7TE Fuely heads
Gang,
I just got through this same nightmare. I just finished building a 1975 460 block with fuely heads for my 1989 F250 (Direct replacement for blown factory engine). I found out that the best way to go is the F3TE heads (I had E7TE's that were melted and cracked). Every vendor I tried online had great prices but lousy products (One vendor actually sent me a F3TE and a E7TE when I specifically ordered two rebuilt F3TE's. The one F3te that they did send had to have all the valve seats reground due to only about 3% of the vavle service was actually in contact with the seat.)
My recommendation is spend the money and buy a rebuilt head from a reputable rebuilder (plan on spending about $300.00 each. They will back them up if you have any screw-ups.)
