1996-2001 were the years they put a 5.0L in an Explorer. The motors had minor differences throughout the years, but they were all GT40.

The gt40p heads have relocted spark plugs. This may cause issue whilr trying to remove the plugs cause the headers will be in the way (do a search for Urban96 he has a why around that). Stock for stock gt40p heads make more power then standard gt40 heads.
