I have a 85 GT with a 302 out of a 89 crown vic (cop car) It recently overheated and i warped the stock heads. I was wondering if i could put the stock heads off of my 85 302 HO on to this 89 302?? i had heads off of the 85 motor machined a couple months ago, and i don't really have the money right now to get these other heads done too. Its my daily driver so i was hoping for a quick fix to my problem..

Thanks.

Although you should be good to go if they line up good, but make sure you check your piston-to-valve clearance.
