I can get the heads and/or the entire 318 2-bbl engine from an ‘86 Dodge D-150 Pickup.

What is the likelihood of this engine having the desirable #302 heads..?

I know that I’d have to check the casting number to be sure
(found under the rockers, isn’t it..?)

I did a web search and I keep seeing varying years and applications listed for #302 head production,
and I don’t want to tear into the heads on this salvage yard engine
if there’s no chance at all of them being #302 heads..

Also, even if they are not #302 heads, would these heads be of any advantage
over the heads on my 1968 318..?

Thanks!

 

I wouldn't think that D series truck would have been equiped with a "good" head like that, especially a D150.

 

I don't know..
I heard once they started usin 'em they could be on anything..
(you know how Chrysler could be lol)

 

True. Who knows what you'll find.


I would just head down there and start tearing off valve covers.

 

Cool..
Thanx!
