253 v 308 heads

[Logz10]

What is the difference between the heads on a Blue 253 compared to a 308?
My mates in the middle of rebuilding a 308 but he has been told the heads a stuffed. I have a pair still on a destroyed 253 (the heads had been done for gas 2000km ago) Is it worth pulling them off to fit on to his 308?

no difference on heads between stock 253s and 308s.

253 heads are better in a way on a 308 block the rev range is higher and you can then sit on the treads for longer and better take off the line k man

VN heads are the way to go mate

apart from you need a vn cam and a new inlet manifold to go with the vn heads
