Title: got some questions
Post by: daboss351 on June 15, 2008, 04:07:59 PM
I found 4 v8 explorers at my local yard, and If I pull the heads and intakes myself I can get them for a good deal. I'm thinking about grabbing one set up, selling it, going back and doing the same thing over again, and keep the last one for me.
No idea if any are gt40 irons, or GT40P heads yet.
How much does a explorer intake/fuel rails/injectors/tb go for??
and same for the gt40 irons/gt40p's?

I wanna guage if this is gonna be worth it to me. I figure this might be a good idea to make a buck

I've seen the intakes go for about $150 to $200.00 complete,and the heads anywhere from $250-$350.00 per set.

The rear ends are good candidates for the old Ford truck crowd, too.

They bolt right into 48-56 Ford pickups, and have the matching bolt pattern to go with any MII front end.  Plus have disc brakes.
