Sorry, I just remember this coming up in an earlier thread that the gt40P and the gt40 heads require different exhaust due to, I believe, a sending unit port. I only pointed it out because I remember the ongoing saga with you header p/s conflict and wouldn't want to see you go through that again if it wasn't neccessary.

the front exhaust pipe on tri-y's on the left cylinder head will not clear the spark plug...if you are good at welding and can splice in an extra 2 inches of pipe into it...then they will work fine...they clear the right head fine.

It costs money to make horsepower.
If you get say, a set of 351w heads, and do what you need to make them work in todays world, like thermactor porting, hardened seats, screw in studs, 3 angle valve job, etc, you will easily spend what it costs to get a decent set of aftermarket heads like Windsor Jrs.

As far as I know only the "P" heads have the relocated spark plugs. The regular gt40s should be fine.
