Holy crap, that was hard to read...LOL

First off, whoever is telling you that about aluminum heads....don't listen to them anymore. They are retarded.

I've built most of my own engines in the past, but I'm going a different route this time. I ordered my shortblock from FordStrokers.com 331-347-408-418-427 Custom Built Small Block Ford Engines . If you want big block power from a small block, you're going to have to buy some good aluminum heads. The head gaskets do not leak unless you fuck it up ....LOL!

Yeah, no shit! My 02 Tahoe with it's aluminum heads isn't leaking with 218k on it now. I have electric fans on it too, and I had a connection burn up once and it got hit about 240 before I caught it, and still fine 3 years since that happened.

Gt40's are too small for a 351 in my opinion. They don't flow well enough no matter what you do to them... which is probably why I've never seen p specific 351 swap headers. I'm assuming you have p's since you are asking the question. If they are regular, than any swap header will work.
