Can anyone tell me what years had the gt40p heads on explorers? I am on a scavenge hunt for a pair to use on a 347 carbed application and have only found one 91 explorer so far but they say it is a 4.0L

Both are good, the P head has a slight advantage in stock form.

Thanks for the info. Just to add to the difference between GT40's and GT40P's, if I understand correctly the p's are harder to fit manifolds to.

They take different headers to clear easily, or most long tubes will clear them too. You can run other shorties not for P heads buyt you'll have issues to deal with plug boots being close to the headers.

well for the p heads you need to get the p headers because off the different angle for the spark plugs. mac makes a set.

Need help on 92 lx 5.0

I finally got my dad to break down and get a stang, he got a mint condition 92 lx hatch, with only 50,000 on the clock, all stock expect K&n and 5 lug converation with 94 gt 17 inch wheels, it runs like new but seems so slow comparied to my 97 Gt. so we put 3.55s and a bbk off road x pipe and american thunder cat, back and march pulleys. it sounds great but still seems slow. it is in such execelent condition. i thought the lx's were fast. it also has motorsport lowering springs. any suggestions were the power is. the engine is so smooth and has a fresh tune, its like a brand new engine. also the guy who did the 5 lug conversion used an axle out of a 97 but the front is ? i guess adapters, because my 98 cobra wheels dont fit the front but they fit the back, he is pissed becase he wants to change the wheels but nothing is going to fit the front, any ideas why or what to do to change the front to make it accept the same wheels as the rear. any help would be apreacated

SN95 spindles on the front will do it. Not hard at all.
