The Ps are all over in the wrecking yards... 200.00-400.00 on the internet... The Ps are the last mod from ford and flow the best of all stock heads... according to "stan Weiss's flow data " you can pull or the flow is there for 390 FWHP !! (190/127) !! cool huh??
Just me.......................
Thumper
PS.. of course the ported E7s will pull even more !! (Ahhh come on guys what did you expect??? LOL)
Most definetly with $500 bones you should get some gears. Whether they be 3.73's or 4.10's they will make a world of difference like night and day. Then with your left overs you could savw up for some heads or something like that.
first off i just wanted to give props to 85 SS 302 Coupe. And also for 500 bucks you can get alot. i got my 17" 077s, off road x, flowmaster catback and underdrives for a total of $148. (Sold old 17"s for 325, traded old catback for a PS2 and sold that for 200, got underdrives off ebay for 38, sold old h-pipe for 75.) doesnt get much better then that, do far the only thing i paid for with my own money is the xpipe and the soon to be gears
I would have to go with gears, long tubes and flows. The gears to be faster w/ same hp, and the exhaust because it sounds soooo good! (plus a few ponies)
Listen to this deal
Gt-40 intake and 42 pound injectors- Given to me(lucky)
traded #42 ----for LT,bcam,1.72rr,o/r h-pipe.
So i got the intake,cam,rockers,exhaust, for FREE
You can find great deals but you have to have the money ready and MOVE when you find them. I got my Explorer intake, Explorer 65mm TB and the Explorer 19# injectors (Design III Bosch that actually flow 21-23#) for $200. Then I found NMRA Factory Stock professionally prepped low-pass GT40P heads, NMRA prepped MAC "P" head shorties and Scorpion 1.6 roller rockers all for $1,000.
We put GT40P's, dual valve springs, and a comp cams hydro roller on my friends 5.0 for under $500. Now gears dont matter, cause torque dosen't care what gears you have Ok Im joking a little with a puny 3" stroke and all but still you get the point. He payed $210 out the door for the assmebled pair of new gt40P heads, and like $150 for the cam, another $100 for the springs.
my favorite cheap upgrade was my subframe conectors! made my car handle 10 times better , and no more dash shaking over railroad tracks, and 2nd would have to be a h pipe with flowmasters....... just my 3 cents
