302 Head swap

I have a 1976 302 i was wondering if any heads will bolt on to this or if not which ones will i was hoping that e7te or gt 40 heads will. Any input is appreciated.

Any small block heads will bolt on. 351 heads will need to use special bolts or hardened washers.

or put a sleve in the bolt hole because 351 heads used bigger bolts than 302 heads a set of DO0E heads will flow similar to GT40s and be a lot cheaper the e7te heads are crap in my opinion, it's what i have and i had to port the hell out of them just to get them to flow decently, definatly would not do that again

i wouldn't use e7te heads on anything, they plain suck. The 76 302 may still have the early heads on them. I am not real sure, the d8oe heads also suck and have a bigger combustion chamber resulting in less compression.
