Fe Head Interchangeability
I'm new to older Fords and I have a 330 HD with a bad valve and a 352 with good heads but she's tied up. Can I swap the heads???

Welcome to FTE
The 330
HD is an FT engine, the 352 is an FE engine.
While the engines look similar, they are not the same.
The FT engines use a different head gasket than the FE's.
A 330
HD head is the same as the 361/391 head: 1964/72.
The 330
MD head is
not the same as a 330
HD /361/391.

Whatever it came with originally. All my old Fords have their original stock engines.
The 352 in my truck is now a 390, but the heads and block are the originals.
The 4V manifold is from a 1966 LTD, as is the carb.
The 390 crank, rods and pistons are genuine Ford, as they were still availabe in 1981, when the engine was redone.
