Gt40?

terribleonexx88 · November 9th, 2007, 03:00 PM

i went to the junkyard today and was lookin for the explorer intake and or heads. so i fount a 5.0 mountaineer the intake was gone but it had the heads. i there was a sticker on the valvecover that said 8g3554cav, 12/08/97, 756750 562, HJ. are these heads gt40s? also the guy said $100 a piece is that a good price?

I think all there heads on the exploders are GT40

baine21225 · November 9th, 2007, 06:00 PM

thats a little pricey i think, especially if you are pullng them

rodthrower2.3T · November 9th, 2007, 06:58 PM

they are GT40P cast iron heads, better than e7s the going rate around here is 100 a PAIR so idk

are the heads from a 2000 explorer better than the heads that come with the trickflow 360hp top end kit?

wtf kind of question is that???

Anyway i'd offer him $150 for the pair if your pulling them yourself. Tell him you found them for that price at another junkyard, it's just a little more of a drive and you'd rather get them from him...... You have to play them against eachother man

White Thunder · November 9th, 2007, 07:53 PM

he will go down with the price

Bwal, no gt40/gt40p head is going to compare to anything made by trickflow.

They are GT40Ps and that is a fair price.

JBIGBOOTSY · November 9th, 2007, 10:27 PM

In stock form the GT40/p don't even flow 200 cfm, they're in the 190s, far from any aftermarket head.

BWAL · November 9th, 2007, 11:08 PM

thanks to those of you who answered my question without criticizing it ^

JBIGBOOTSY · November 9th, 2007, 11:25 PM

You'll want springs, and a valve job for sure. I had my p heads shaved .030, for a "can't tell shit" compression bump of .5:1. All and all you prolly be at about $250, at the shop with the new springs. Mabe try and port em too. Google TMoss for that.

I thought you were trying to be sarcastic? Think about it, you were legitimately asking is factory ford cast iron heads are better than $1900 aluminum trick flow's? Does that seam logical in any way shape or form?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be an ass.....

P.S. Webster's defines "better" as the following: of superior quality or excellence

it's cool man, it just kinda seemed like you were being an asshole about it. yeah, i was legitimately asking a question. i don't know much about heads, obviously, but i'm still trying to learn.

+1, definitely do that before bolting on. you could do some porting yourself too if you have a dremel.

JBIGBOOTSY · November 9th, 2007, 11:47 PM

P heads also have the poo-poo plug location, but on the bright side they yield higher compression than the plain GT40. About .5:1. so mill the p heads and tou get about 10:1 for a estimated gain of.....not much but better then 9:1.
