    Well, I can only speak for mine. This one was tapped out sometime back around 1978 and has been gone back through 3 times since. Never had any problems. I have been told that some of the later blocks are a little thinner so they might not be good candidates. This is the original 71 block still in this car.

    I used the Ford Motorsports head bolts designed for the 351W head swap.
    They were around $65.

    (2) 1972 2 dr. 302 v8 Comets; 1 is everyday driver, the other is a hot rod project car(on hold), 1987 Mustang Convertible 351W Powered, and now my newest addition a 1975 Pinto
    My motor is tore down right now and I found one of the bolts for the 351W head to 302 block...These are from ARP as a kit and you can see the washer that slides through the bolt to make up for the larger size hole on the head.

    Mine don't have washers, they are tapered or shouldered bolts.
