Hi yall, thanks for looking


Im thinking of running GT40 Heads and A GT40 Intake. Im noticing they are well priced and give a good bang per buck.

Im thinking of pulling the trigger on this

heads

In terms of bolting them on your SD car, no worries unless you change out the cam or add bigger injectors. I currently have a cobra intake on my car and it runs like stock. Up until recently I was going to install GT40P heads.

As for the parts themselves, I can't comment on the heads, but $300+ for an explorer intake is nuts. You can pull one from a junkyard for $50, and buy one on CL for $100. Explorer 302 intakes on Ebay are heavily overpriced for some reason.


That intake was NEVER sold through Ford Racing. The 1993 Cobra and true GT40 intake were. That intake came off a Ford explorer sitting in a junkyard.

I was actually moving my Explorer intake around last night. I'd believe 40 pounds for the upper and lower.

They aren't really GT40 heads. Some sort of ALuminum knock off.

The only GT40 head Ford makes is the GT-40X, and they are $600/head. The GT-40Y heads have long been discontinued.

I have no idea what those are.
