You don't want to use those Vic heads on anything. Those are the E6SE's. Good for torque below 2500 rpms, but they'll cost you horsepower. The valves are shrouded and the chambers deeper and have more volume than your 69 heads. That'll cost you in the compression ratio.

If youre talking about using a late model Mustang 5.0, youll need a late model 58oz dampner too. I dont think there were any 58oz 3 bolt dampners made, so youll need a pulley too. As for putting a carb on the late model engine, itll work great. Having the AOD should make a big difference too, depending on what rear gear you have. If you already have a 2.79 or so, and dont feel like changing it, just stick with whatever trans you have.

Aren't the 5.0 motors 50oz imballance and the earlier motors 28oz imballance ?
There are ballancers made for late model motors that are setup for 3 bolt pullys.
Personally I'd just run the serpentine setup.
But will they work with the stock 69 cam, lifters and pushrods? I don't care about HP, and are the rockers adjustable?
check your casting numbers i have worked on alot of Vic's that had E7 heads so look at them and see first. If they are E7 heads they will work with your current cam/lifter setup and you will need a 6.800 pushrod.

Thats what I meant, I knew 58oz didnt sound right, but I was tired. What had the 50oz, 3 bolt dampner? Thats news to me.
You do not need to change the balancer when changing the heads. They are completely unrelated.
3 bolt 50 oz balancer is an aftermarket only item. No factory application for that.
