Found 97 explorer motor

White 89 · April 13th, 2009, 03:33 PM

for $400

whacha guys thing about that.

Comes with gt40 heads and explorer intake. Has 90,000 miles on motor

My question is. If GT40 heads are ported how much CFM can you get out of them.

93hatch · April 13th, 2009, 03:36 PM

buy it

White 89 · April 13th, 2009, 03:39 PM

I know nothing about this set-up

It will be a 331 with the GT40 heads

I need to know from someone with this set-up or who has experience with this set-up

93hatch · April 13th, 2009, 04:04 PM

not enough head for a 331

could you explain why?

93hatch · April 13th, 2009, 04:37 PM

331 has bigger displacement than a 302 right? so it needs moar air. gt40 heads barely flow enough for a 302

White 89 · April 13th, 2009, 04:56 PM

they will be ported of course. THe GT40's will be ported for more air flow.

I would say with ported gt40's your really defeating the purpose of increasing the stroke.

Serious, yes. Ported or not, GT40s are a good mild 302 head and that's it. They will work on a 331 or 347 but the engine will be done making power by 5000 rpm. Bad combination.

ill give you 200 bucks for the heads

NOSfairlane · April 13th, 2009, 09:59 PM

what about some 69 or 70 351w heads would they work better than gt-40 or gt40p?

No. The P heads are probably the best production Windsor head. Production Windsor heads aren't going to be a good match to big cubes.
