cracked heads
what heads interchange in the 385 series namely what will fit a 79' 460 and perform the best and does anyone have any tips on rebuilbing them
the existing cylinder heads are off my 79' 460 one ton welding truck its a stock engine and even with cracked heads it ran great but would overheat any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated

If Im not mistaken, Which I could well be, Any heads from 72-84 were alike. Pre-72, they had smaller combustion chambers and bigger ports (which = More power, more smog...). After 84, they changed to mostly Fuel Injection, and those heads are completely different.
The pre-72 heads SHOULD work on your truck, but may have some smog problems. Good luck!
