You can but you have to get retrofit roller lifters because the older 5.0's lifter bosses are not as tall as the 85 up roller 5.0's and you would probably have to get different length pushrods as well
Howards Cams 91168 - Howards Cams Street Series Retrofit Hydraulic Roller Lifters - Overview - SummitRacing.com They are kind of price though, I would recommend to call around to junkyards and get a 5.0 out of an explorer this way you get gt40 heads and gt40 style intake, and then sell the 84 5.0. The Explorer 5.0's can be had relatively cheap and have close to 100 more hp than the 84 5.0 that you have. |

their is a part in the lifter vally that holds down the liffters on a roller block. you would have to get the 84 block machined for the bolt locations for that part. or you will have to get lifters with the links between them.
