New to forums,Couple of questions.

[Cobra351]

I have a 1995 Mustang cobra.The 5.0 has been replaced with a 351W.It has the Gt 40 heads on it that came on the cobra. They are in need of a rebuild,valves ,guides,seals,etc..I can pick up a set of Gt40P's brand new off a guy for about the same price as getting these heads redone.Is the Gt40p as good a head as the Gt40?Are there any issues to bolting these on as far as headers go and spark plug location?I am running a set of hooker headers now.Thanks for all imput.

Welcome to the forums man.

the P heads are actually a better head than the GT40 regular. If i were in your shoes i would opt for some better heads than the Ps. How much money can you afford to spend?

Thank for the imput.I have a budget of around "800.00 max" for a set of heads.Any recomendations?

 

[ProKiller]

look around for some used heads. you can find a good set of used Edelbrock Performers/RPMs, or Trick Flows for about that price. keep your eyes open, and don't just settle for something.

 

[otis]

Yeah. Keep looking because your going to want more than a set of P's for a 351. oh yeah and welcome.

How does the 351 fit under the hood. Are you using a cowl or stock hood.

 

[Ice Hawk]

I like TFS Twisted Wedge Heads myself, but that is just me. I would go with Edelbrock or TFS. Those are some really nice namebrand ones. But like everyone says, don't just settle, research it and make sure you know what you want. 800 bucks is a lot to just toss at something that you are not even sure if that is what you want.

Good Luck and Welcome.

I have a cowl hood.Regular hood would not work.Thanks for all the replies.I am going to shop around a while.

 

[SuperDust22]

Have you talked to VibrantRedGT. He has a good set of GT-40X for sale that is about in you price range.

 

[Cobra351]

Welcome to the forum. You have what I want!...Can't wait to do my lightning 351 swap. Is that the route you went since your 351 has the GT40's? Or did you just buy a crate motor...Was it worth it?

 

[Cobra351]

Yes it is the lightning 351. I like the 351 real well. Tons of torque. When I get the heads straighted around it should really make some improvements.

 

[SuperDust22]

Do you have AC and all that junk whith your 351?

 

[Cobra351]

Yes A/C and smog pump and all.

 

[SuperDust22]

about how much do one of those engines run. Did you get it out of a old lighting?
