HEAD QUESTIONS??????

Hi Guys, swap is a 95 4.9 into an 86 f150 that had a bad 4.9 in it already. i am at the point where i am trying to decide to use the 95 head or the 86 head. what are the pros and cons? i know if i use the 86 head it will need a valve job. I could use the 95 head but what about plugging the extra holes? i heard you get more compression with the late model heads. What should i do? also im going carb not fuel injection. this is also my first full swap on my own, so be gentle...

This is one of those questions better asked in the specific engine forum. They'll know the differences between certain years of the same engine. Good luck with the project
