Sbf head question

[Rob83gt]

Alright heres the situation i am working on my brothers 95 f150 4x4 with 5.8 i am in process of changing head gaskets and i have broken a few exhaust manifold bolts and 1 intake bolt in head and im pretty sure there's a valve seal leaking on one of them, and theres nothing to grab hold of to even try to get bolts out,so what i was thinking is using a set of 5.0ho heads i have laying around and i was hoping to get some feedback on this, im just trying to save my brother some money if i can.Let me know thanks.

Rob.

If im not mistaken the H.O. mustang heads are the old truck heads

Check the head bolt holes. The 5.8 uses 1/2" head bolts. The HO heads are probably drilled for a 7/16 bolt.
