Well, I scoured the junkyard today and came home with a new set of heads. It took forever to get the 154 bolts (insert sarcasm here) off the front of the motor to release the heads, but I did get them.

It was off a 1996 full size dodge van. It was the 8 lug axles (so 3/4 or 1 ton I guess)....

Anyway, From the little I know they are the magnum heads. They look super clean and promising. I got the heads complete with rockers and valve covers for just over $100 bucks. I think for that price it is worth a try.

What can anyone tell me about these heads? Anything I need to know?

I know I need another intake manifold.

I know I need new pushrods...

What about the hydraulic lifters? I assume stock doesn't work, so what do I need to replace them with so I can have oiling through the pushrods?

The casting on it says 302, and the rockers are pedestal mounted, so I am thinking magnum 318.

Any thoughts?
