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
OMC DID use a chevy engine, but he already mentioned it's a Ford.....
==================================
I just re-read the original post and I didn't notice that it was "efi",
so this is a later engine than the 1988 version.
