look by the lower bolt holes , they should say GT in large letters next to the far front passenger side head bolt , or have GTP listed in smaller letters ....they should be the same as the explorers

What year Mountaineer? The 96 and early 97 V8 models came with GT40s (the same as on the 93 Cobra). Mid '97 ford swapped to the GT40p models, just like the did on the V8 explorers.

do you guys think that $150.00 for a pair of 1996 explorer heads is cool?and will these bolt right on to my 88 gt 5.0 without any trouble?with headers etc.

That's a good price - put new valve springs in it or you might be sorry.

 

[raiderjoe1]

what valve springs would be best?is the stock cam good enough for these heads?

the trick flow kit, ford motersport sells a set, and I think crower has a single spring set that will work too. You can always get stock replacments from sealed power, but then your still stuck with those exaust rotators
