Any gains you make off the GT-40P Explorer heads and E-303 cam will be lost by using a stock intake. If your going through all the trouble of a heads and cam swap, put on an intake that won't choke your upgrades. Explorer intakes are cheap, if you want to drive to San Antonio, I'll sell you mine for $150, lol.so, Im getting a E303 cam and GT40 heads from an explorer, my question is regarding the intake. I havent sourced one yet, but im just curious about what negative side effects might happen if i dont do a GT40 intake manifold. its an 88 LX 5.0 and im wanting to do some scca events this summer with it, so im hoping to avoid any bad surprises if i dont do the intake
i was hoping that wouldnt be the case. Ill check around to see what i can source locally. I have a guy coming up from Florida to SoDak (where im at) and he said that the parts are plentiful down there and reasonably pricedAny gains you make off the GT-40P Explorer heads and E-303 cam will be lost by using a stock intake.

I see used explorer intakes both EGR and non EGR on ebay and you can get them from a pick and pull or order them from the online junkyard carpart.com at a pretty good price. Just search 1996 Ford Explorer with 5.0 V8

The intake is as much if not more of a restriction that the heads. You’ll be lucky to pick of 15 HP without do the intake.
Consider getting a more modern cam than the E303. It’s 110* LSA can give lots of idle and low speed bucking issues.
The E303 cam is pretty dated although it is a decent cam. See FTI website for a good cam alternative for the GT40 setup. It may be a bit pricey but Ed Curtis knows his stuff

right on. i hear ya and i suppose ill need to cough up if i want the gains. thanks manIt is a billet steel core, that is why. The factory cams are a cast steel core and cheaper to make. I have a custom FTI cam in my 363 stroker and I love it.

I put an E303 in my ‘86 along with TW heads, roller rockers and Edelbrock Performer intake a couple of years ago. If I were to redo it, I’d go with a different cam.The E303 cam is pretty dated although it is a decent cam. See FTI website for a good cam alternative for the GT40 setup.
