What do i have to do to put gt 40 heads on my mustang. Will it work with hydraulic flat tappet cams? they are complete rebuilt to factory spec and im unsure if it will work with my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. I had snapped off 3 intake bolts off in my stock heads that had i put lunati springs and valves in when changed cams, trying to change intake gaskets opened a can of worms. i found a pair of them gt 40 heads cheaper than the machine shop bill to extract the bolts and clean them up again.

How far down did they snap? You could use pb blaster and soak them, then get a bolt extractor and take them out that way. Works pretty good
