Hello all , I would like to hear from the ford guys in the know. I'm getting the Barth ready for the big trip this summer, and I have to replace the heads. My question is what would be the best heads to replace them with, I was told that I should stay with cast iron heads in a motor home application. I know where I can get a pair of 1970 dove c heads, and was wondering if the will fit my 1987 block. They have a smaller combustion chamber that would boost the compression a little. Any suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks Dave R.
