ok so it's like this i get the motor it sits as a 3/4 block on a stand. it sit's for a few months . me and a buddy go to a junk yard and he spots a 5.0 exploder. so long story shortened. i ask the guy how much for the heads off of it. (going carbed so i dont need the intakes) he says ask the other guy. i ask. he says . 80 bucks i say for both ?yup he replies. so we get the heads off and in my trunk in a few hours work. so now instead of the e7's i now have GT-40 heads. not p's early exploder. but a 97. and they have been decked already. . just some info to share.

Good job snaggin those gt 40's I have been having more problems than I thought I would have with my 351w. :(
Early explorers had straight GT-40's? Veddy cool. I always thought that 5.0 explorer meant they were GT-40P's. Guess that saves you buying special exhaust headers, right?
it's cool they got the gt-40's but i hear the p's work the best . fords last atempt at the 5.0 which is why the pulgs moved and a redesinged cumbustion chamber. and i hear u can get away with the no p headers. just need to run 90 degree boots for wires. but im sure they are beter than the e7 so. eather way im in.

now i want to know if the motor is .30 over bc it was rebuilt.
