Should I expect the exhaust headers to actually come off? Looks completely rusted.

is going back in here. Gonna replace like everything.
As noted in the post above, GT40 heads with explorer intake IIRC. Ill post pics again for reference:
For the next upgrade, it’s trivia time:
Who can tell me the types of vehicles these are from?
How do I get to 24#'s?
In thinking that if I am going to do this, might as well do it once. How do I maximize this setup?
Ive been trying to read through different setups and experiences (its taking a while). Seems like I can keep the stock cam, but if I increase my injectors to 24# I will need a tuned MAF. Should I consider a different TB? I don't think I want to mess with my fuel delivery, at least right now. Also, I def want to stay with the current tranny which I am guessing is a T5.
With just what you have,you don't need a bigger injector. If you haven't already,a fuel pump upgrade wouldn't hurt,just a 110 or 155lph and an adjustable fuel regulator wouldn't hurt. You are correct in if you change injectors,you need to change MAF as well. I went 13.20 on a STOCK 5.0 engine over 20yrs ago.
I do not know of any in the Boston area.
Only way I know how to recover without the machine is if you have a few recovery tanks. Pull a deep vacuum on them and then hook to your system and let equalize. When one remains under 0psi, you’ve recovered it all.
Not practical because who has vscuum tanks sitting around.
Thanks for the response.
Im assuming I will need to purchase new injectors. If I do, id like to target my final build out. My current thoughts are to maximize the GT40 setup and as components need replacing, upgrade them so that after a period of time I will have replaced just about everything.
In reading this article, it seems like I will need to drill out an EGR spot with my explorer intake. Is that correct?
I dont want to ask a stupid question, but how do I find the right gasket for this upper/lower combo?
Something like this Im assuming: https://lmr.com/item/M9486A50/1986-95-Mustang-Ford-Racing-50L-Gt40-Cobra-Upper-Intake-Gask
In my continued reading it sounds like the reason to go GT40/Explorer iron combo is that its a budget build. No true value in porting those combos.
That said current TB is 65mm. New combo is 70mm intake. It sounds like a good increase to move from 65mm to 70mm, correct? This article makes it sounds super valuable:
