Title: Wanted to buy '68 302 SBF heads(FOUND 2 sets locally) Thanks, all!

I am in need of a couple of sets of '68 302 cylinder heads if anyone has them for sale.  Bare heads preferable.  Would consider a complete '68 302 engine as a rebuilder.  Joe-JDC

I have a complete '68 302-2V that a friend bought many years ago out of a wreck to put in a street rod, pretty clean- but distance (94558) would be a problem

I have a pair of ‘68 302 2V heads, and the majority of the ‘68 302 they came on, but it’s going to be a while before it warms up enough to get into my pole building and dig them out. Let us know if you find what you need in the meantime.

I thought I had a cherry pair of C80E-E heads with a 8M10 casting date, but when I got them cleaned up, they were actually C90E-E, and I can't use them for my project.  Let me know if yours are real C8 castings.  Joe-JDC

  Hi Joe, I should have a pair that were removed from a 68 fairlane. The car only had 60000 miles or so on it. When I go out to my shop today I will check casting numbers. Will have to ship from billings mt, maybe a little spendy. Rob

I have in my notes that mine are C8OE-J castings, so it doesn’t sound like what you’re looking for.

Are you looking for the ones marked “302 4V”?

Doesn't need to be a particular suffix, only a true C80E part number, with 7 or early 8 date code.  I have a J code intake, and these heads came of a 302 4v, but somehow they are '69 heads, and it is the first for me.  I thought all California Specials were '68s, and these came off a CS. I have been saving these heads for over 25 years because I know the car they came off of.   Joe-JDC

At least one of my C8OE-J heads has a “8A6” date code, that’s in my notes too. But like I said these aren’t the “302 4V” castings. When it warms up I’ll wade into the core pile. I should have a storage bin with the crank/rods/pistons too.

Pulled out my heads, and both are c80e j and have a casting date of 8a18.
  Can pull valves and springs, if can find a cheap way to ship them. Rob

You have your reply box blocked.  I would like to buy your heads if shipping is reasonable.  Joe-JDC

All C/S cars were 68's .Was not un common to find the parts mixed up in 68 as there was no 289 4V or 302 2V (almost none) available in Mustangs.There were 3 only 302 2V Mustangs built....99.9 % of all 302 Mustangs were "J" code and to be technical the heads should say 302 4V on them.It was a one year only thing..Intake would be a C8 casting...

Its not un common to find a 302 2V in a late 68 that should have had a 289 2V..
