OK you all have most likely answered this more times than I could imagine but what years were the explorers that had the good intakes?? and are the heads better than my stock 95 gt? if I can get a whole engine is it worth it to pick everything up? thanks everyone.
any 5.0 explorer has the cobra/gt 40 intake. If you buy the whole motor buy the 97-01 explorer motors they have the gt40p heads. 96-older have the gt40 heads (same as cobra).
the lower intake dosent flow as good as a real cobra, sadly. and yes, you can make good power with the setup like that,
My car made 280~ rwhp with an explorer engine and a different cam. people with better intakes make ~295.

And to add to that, the '97 year Explorer/Mountaineer could have either the GT40 or the GT40P heads. They switched to the "P's" midway through the year..... Found this out first hand.
was there any special equipment you needed to use the GT 40P heads as opposed to the strait GT 40 heads? Also if you get an intakefrom a GT 40P setup will it bolt up to my regular 5.0 engine??
I didn't know there was any difference between the explorer lower intake and a cobra lower intake. What is the difference between them t hat makes the cobra flow better? I guess I've always been under the impression that the cobra, GT-40, and exploder lowers were exactly the same.
