E7TE's will work fine for what you want to do. Even better with the exhaust sides ported. Remove the injector bumps, raise the roofs and hog out the sides some, then blend them down into the bowls under the valves. Leave the port floor as is. Intake sides, just gasket match em. If you can, pick a machine shop that has a Serdi machine to do the valve job after porting.----------------------------------------------------The only 351 Stang heads that are better are the 69-70 castings. In the Fox Stangs, only one year offered a 351 and that was the Cobra R model. These had GT40 heads, which are somewhat similar to the older 69-70 castings.
