Im sure it will work, but the Explorer would probably lose a lot of power I would imagine.

If you do that and plan on running the cam along with rockers. You will definitely need to put a set of aftermarket valve springs on the gt40's.

That sure is a lot of work just to put Gt40's on. I dont think the amount of work it takes to do two head swaps, is worth it just for some GT40 heads. Thats just me.

You would need a cam that pulls the same vacuum that the Stock SD cam does. I can get 17" of vacuum with the F303 cam, but im not sure what the SD cams pull.
