Head swap - 1/13/2006 2:11:17 PM    zadodja   Posts: 1 Joined: 1/13/2006 Status: offline I am rebuilding a 1965 289. I have a 1988 302 with brand new heads. Can anyone tell me if I can swap the 289 & 302 heads ? I dont know if it matters but I thought the 88 was fuel injected but this engine has an edlebrock 600 carb on it. Thanks in advance for any input. Post #: 1
