im thinking of doing a head swap but have 112,000 miles on the shortblock. should i wait till this winter when i rebuild. also what other cars used the same valve covers as ours. i have a 302 not out of a mustang but it has the same exact valve covers ours do. the intake is gone off of it.

it all depends on how badly u want to drive it in the next week or so...
you should probably wait and do it this winter.... speaking from experiece its a pain in the butt taking the engine apart (done it 3 times in 2 months)
but i guess its really up to you.
i'd probably do it because i'm crazy!!
