I want to spend maybe 500 bucks on a new set of heads and am curious where I can get some gt40 or gt40p's for this amount...if I am out of my mind just let me know and I guess I will have to wait longer..

Call discount or autozone and ask for head off an explorer 96-older gt40's 97-01 p's then give your e7's as the core's and get $$ back. Probably under 450 when it's all said and done.

Try and rip them off of an explorer by the way. Prolly the cheapest route to go.

well, i'm assuming you have like 250 or so right now and the gt40's will prolly put you around the 275 range since they are prolly the bottle neck right now. Who knows, with a good cam you could go 300! Intake might be bigger than you need, but with free flowing everything else, you should be good.

Wow...that seems pretty cheap. Are we taling bare heads here, or WITH the valves installed in them.

Also, when buying a used head, how does one know if they are any good, and not damaged?

Thanks,

If I remember correctly that's assembled. After the core retun, it turns out to be about $2?? a head. Just call and find out to be sure.

Just out of curiosity...how much better are say...GT-40x aluminum heads....or holley alluminums? I konw the AL heads will save on weight, but do they provide a lot more power too over the GT-40p's? Just wondering since it's almost $1000 difference.

The gt40x/Holley or the like are geared toward strickly performance purposes. SO they will out perform the stock ford heads. Check out this link to compare pretty much any head out there right now
and see how the stck up against one another. http://www.allfordmustangs.com/Detailed/630.shtml
