Anyone got ant idea where I might be able to find a decent set of heads for my Ford 302? Plenty about in the US but haven't found many places in the UK. Cheers, Dan

Finding Ford 302 V8 heads in the UK?

Hi Mark,
I have a '78 302, as you probably know these are one of the lowest performance 302's around. Basically I'm looking to improve as much as possible without spending a fortune. I reckon my best bet would be a set of E7TE heads (fitted to early 90's 302's I believe). Hopefully I can find a ported set somewhere. I'd love to go for brand new HP heads but don't think I can afford it really. If you happen across any or know any good places to try please let me know! It's depressing to browse ebay.com and see how many are on offer but the shipping to the UK is ~$300 .
Cheers, Dan

A US scrappie selling hemis for $100? Where? In your dreams! Unless you were talking about some hemi other than the Chrysler 426...

Or, pack an empty bag, get a standby ticket to the States, hire a car and get your heads at a junkyard - probably all for less than the UK price of new heads.

Dan, if you are in the North of England, It's stars and stripes weekend at Tatton park, Knutsford. American cars, Rods and Customs, Bikes, displays, autojumble and trade stands.
Today was the first day, and it is open 9am-5pm Tomorrow. Might be worth a looksee, and make some contacts even if you don't find a set there.
I'm going to look at the Rods and Customs.

No Worries. Saw people mention Bradford and Crewe, and though maybe you were up this neck of the woods. Good luck with it.
