I've got a friend who's got a Triton V8 motor and the heads are bad on it. I've got some heads from a 85' 302 mustang laying around. Does anyone know if these heads will work for a Triton V8 motor? The Triton is in a 2000 pickup.
Thanks

The Triton is a modular OHC motor. Its a completely different animal.

No, the heads will not work.

....what he said.

Tell your friend he's going to want to look into a set of '99-up PI Windsor heads for his Truck. Assuming his engine hasn't got them already, the PI castings will bolt on just like his previous ones, but will give him a significant power jump.

What per say is wrong with his current heads? The modular aluminum heads are known for stripping the spark plug threads on occasion, but this can be repaired with a little JB weld and a Helicoil insert along with the use of AGSF plugs in place of the old AWSF ones?

It would be just as easy as putting two Honda civic heads on it

Never in a million, bazillion years will you get 5.0 heads to work on a mod motor.
