I have used the search option and cant find the answer i am looking for. Apologies if this has been asked over and over. Im just teying to get my questions answered without steering of of subject.
So I picked up a set of gt40 heads from a 1996 explorer (3 bar) that will be going on my 88 notch. I will be taking them to a machine shop soon to get them cleaned up and while they are there I want to at least replace the springs. What Springs should I look at ordering? Is there anything besides the spring change that I should have them do? Which gaskets should I buy for the heads? I purchased an explorer upper and lower that was previously on a 87 fox. Should I take the intake manifold to the shop as well and have them do anything to that? Gasket recommendations for the intake manifold?
I will be sticking with the stock cam. Reason for that is because I read over and over that my speed density car doesn't respond well to a cam swap. The car also has shorty headers, xpipe, slp LM1, fenderwell CAI and underdrive pulleys if it helps.
I just want to get what is needed so I can get working on the car and start driving it.
Thanks in advance for all of ypur help. I look forward to the replies.
