I haven't done this one, but I hear the guys talking about new valve springs for them. Probably new guides.so getting back to this GT 40 heads what else would go with that just the cam?? AKA what else would i HAVE to replace to do the GT 40 heads
maybe il buy the stuff myself and pay to have it done next year or when ever i have the parts that are needed ya i know in the long run it will be more money
no, not the case here, it just makes sense. Better airflow, better power, better gas mileage, etc...ohh ok so its more then just heads and cam .... i prob wont do it since i like the mustang 5.0 intake look
Gt40 heads need valve springs swapped. Do keepers and guides while you are in there. Same thing you would do to freshen up stock heads. Put your stock ho intake plate on top and 9 out of 10 guys can't tell the difference.
yes, I think. Again, I didn't go this route.can i do just heads and cam and keep stock intakes for now?
If anything keep the cam and swap your heads/ intake.can i do just heads and cam and keep stock intakes for now?
the original cam looks kinda like the crank shaft he already told me a new one is going inIf anything keep the cam and swap your heads/ intake.
Here's an explorer intake
Hum, what's he putting in there? One of the alphabet cams (b303, e303, etc...)?the original cam looks kinda like the crank shaft he already told me a new one is going in
It's possible, and probable if you told him to put that in.i would assume a 1994 mustang 5.0 cam
There you go! Todd is close enough to be considered a homeboy!If that guy is charging you 5k to remove/reinstall and rebuild the motor (completely-which means the required machine work,new parts,etc) that's not a complete raping(still probably overcharging).
That motor wouldn't go back into my car without the following:
Hot tank/magnaflux the block. Also minimum it will need to have cylinders honed(needs to be checked-probably bored). Check the deck for straightness,align hone,new freeze plugs,cam bearings,and chit I am forgetting. A cyl bore is going to require new Pistons and rings. The rods will need to be checked and probably resized with new bolts and bearings. The crank needs at least that much tlc. You'll also need new oil pump,shaft,gaskets,water pump,lifters(and cam),and again misc crap I'm not thinking about.
Then the heads....for as much machine work that you're going to probably need, there is no f'ing way they would go back on my car. I did that same thing years ago and have regretted it every day since. The stock heads are such pieces of chit for performance. They absolutely suck. At least go with some gt40's of the explorers. Check the local junkyard/parts places around town or check the Internet. You can find them on eBay or you can check the parts section in the classifieds on Corral.net. Usually can find them already setup for around 500$ or better yet buy some Trick Flow 170cc heads(1150$ brand new). I'm to tired to continue. And btw I'm 15 miles away in Byron,Il

Hot tanking is just a method of cleaning the block after it has been disassembled. It gets all of the old crap and looks, essentially like a newly made block. It is very effective, not as many shops perform this properly anymore because of EPA mandates with the chemicals used and disposal of the wastes after cleaning the block. Uncle Sugar wants his dime in other words.the truth is i had 1K to my name im borrowing the rest of the $$ from my pops
i did here Hot tank/magnaflux so that will be done as far as i know he is going to clean the pistons and new rings on them .. i did here him say something about the block does .10 mean anything to anyone ... its me and my pops dealing with this and nether of us knwo about rebuilding none of the engines in the family ever had it done so right now its the blind leading the blind we were put up agenst a wall and are dealing with it the best we can
Don't piss him off yet, just start asking educated questions so he doesn't think he's dealing with a chump.il try to get a list or maybe just send him A5literMan comment and see what he says
