Thanks!

So the heads casting are the C8AE-11.  I think my best option is to gasket port and some bowl work, replacement of the 2b intake to a 4b intake, shorty headers (because its a 4wd) and enjoy it.  Its a 4 speed np435,.  Rebuild the suspension and enjoy it.  If the motor goes then maybe replace with a 390 or build it up to a 390.  At least doing these few things should make it a pleasure to drive.  I have really enjoyed all the input and help guys!
Last question,  where the smog hose connects to the Manifolds, isn't there a threaded plug you can use to plug them up?

Couple of questions for you guys.  So currently right now in my 75 F100 is a stock 360 FE.  I've been considering a few different options regarding "refreshing" the motor etc.  Im new to Ford classics as I mainly have built Mopar BB stroker motors etc.  Since this is a truck and not a muscle/race car.  Im looking for a little more ponys then she's got.  Transmission is a NP435 4 speed and it's 4wd.  I picked up a set of 360 FE heads super cheap and thought maybe I would do a port-job, smooth out the bowls myself, etc.  But after reading how poor that they flow, other than cleaning them up, ill not really be gaining anything.  The truck currently has a 2 b-carb and I bought a 4 barrel cast iron (correct for the year) stock intake.  The truck does have factory Manifolds,  etc.  My original plan was to do the heads, make sure that the seats/valve etc were all good, slap on the 4 b intake, 600 cfm carb and shorty headers.  Maybe a little bit bigger bump stick and upgraded rockers, etc.  I see that I can get some eldlebrock "entry " model heads for 1399.99 each, Manifold to match etc.  But, im wondering if I could find say a nice set of 428 heads, would they work on a 360?  I have seen some say that only 390 heads will work but others say so will 428 heads.   If the 428 heads would work, I could do those with a aluminum intake, 600carb, shorty headers and little bigger bump-stick and I think I'd be happy.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan
