'97 F150 didn't come with a 5.8. What you got, F250?

The heads are the same (both E7's) except the bolt holes are bigger on the 5.8. Im sure a machine shop could make the holes bigger if you cant find a set of 5.8 heads.

Ive got aftermarket 5.8 heads on the 5.0 in my Mustang and had to use special washers to reduce the size of the bolt holes.
