I'm in the process of building my 5.0 I'm looking to change the heads out for gt40 heads but I found a set of gt40 cobra heads, will they work on my non cobra block? Or do I need regular gt 40's?

Cobra heads are GT40 heads. Yes, they will work on your stock block, there is no difference between a Cobra block and a regular 5.0 mustang roller block.
