Hey guys,
I've been reading alot about swapping an Explorer 5.0 intake and heads to my 5.0. What i'm wondering is is there a certain year that the intake is just better for some reason. I know i want the GT40P heads, should i buy the intake off of that same 5.0? I believe i read that the 96-early 97 Explorer lower intakes only needed one hole drilled and tapped as compared to the late 97s and up. Are the things that the holes drilled and tapped for really needed, or can they be plugged off somehow?
Will my stock 5.0 cam be good enough, or is there another out there that will work with this combo and get me more horsepower. Also, what size MAF,TB, and injectors are best? I've read that the 19# injectors should be good enoug, but should i go to 24# to be safe?
Is there any computer chips or anything i need to have burned, or will the computer figure things out itself? What type of horsepower and track times will i be looking at with this setup and my current mods? I want to go ahead and start collecting everything i need so that the wallet won't get hit so hard all at once. Thanks for listening to my book of questions.
Thanks,
Jason
