Default What's the difference between auto a marine cylinder heads?

I need to replace the heads on my OMC (Ford) 5.0L efi motor. I was
looking at the price for new heads from OMC and almost died. (1300 @)
Is there any reason I can't use heads from a car with the same motor and
just change the freeze out plugs?
==================================
You don't mention the model year. I have a 1988 OMC, 5.0 and its built
on a 305 Chevy engine. You may want to check this out.
It could drive a guy up a wall to try to put a Ford head on a Chevy
block......

Happy boating, Norm
