I had a race engine builder look @ the engine...says it looks worse than it is,no ridge on the cyl walls. Gonna put ARP bolts in her, decent rings, GT40P heads *ported*, GOING with a Carb. More flexible, and cheaper...SO MY GT40/Explorer Intake IS FOR SALE.It'll come with gaskets.

$800 for rebuild

bigger intake runners for one...more air, flows better than 5.0 SO or HO
