Darrell;

Back in 1995 when building a 351-W for my 65 Fastback,I did basically what you are thinking about doing.....DO NOT DO IT......
Had my heads ported/polished/gasket matched for a song,then added screw-in rocker studs,good springs,guide plates and went one step further with 1.90/1.60 valves,by the time I finished I could have bought a new set of alum. Edlebrock heads complete.......My iron heads now flow about the same as the Edlebrocks out of the box,but you can take the Edlebrocks a lot further if needed and my heads are maxed out...........

Look at some of the Mustang sites and you can pick up GT-40 heads complete very reasonable and be better off in the long run.......

If not,save up for a set of alum. heads complete,right now they are going for as little as 1100 bucks a set.......

BTW; the windsor heads will bolt up to any 302,you also have to use a 302 intake,the 351 intake is too wide and will not work on a 302 block.....
