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.
