i read it earlier in another thread. i got summit long tubes. dont know how much i would half to bend or "dent" them in. so ill just try to find somethin with aluminum gt40's. anybody know what year came with aluminums?

nolife · January 2nd, 2008, 05:07 PM

What year came with aluminum? None that I know of. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

83five0 · January 2nd, 2008, 05:26 PM

i know somethin had to come with aluminum gt40 heads. crown vic, grand marquis, explorer, somethin. right?

e3sean · January 2nd, 2008, 05:34 PM

no ususally stock heads are cast iron.

nolife · January 2nd, 2008, 05:45 PM

Crown Vic and Marquis were 4.6 mod motors since 1991 I believe and cast iron before that and the only GT40 aluminum heads made by Ford are the GT40X, Y and Z and none were on production cars.

The iron GT40P is the best your going to get at a junk yard. From what I've read, the regular iron GT40 is also an improvement over the stock heads but is that "improvement" worth the time and effort of swapping out just to keep your existing exhaust headers? That is your call.

Speedstang302 · January 3rd, 2008, 10:39 AM

yeah like no life said...nothing came with aluminum heads stock...the gt40's in mustangs and explorer's are cast iron...so arent the gt40p's...the ones from fms themselves are aluminum

im getting a whole motor. not just heads. from what ive heard, good luck tryin to find gt40p heads. so ill get whatever i find. as long as its a 5.0 and turns over by hand. gotta get alot of stuff. im gonna try to build an 12-11 second car out of scrap yard parts.

baine21225 · January 3rd, 2008, 12:09 PM

gonna find some nitrous while your there?

83five0 · January 3rd, 2008, 01:47 PM

no the cam, nitrous, drag radials, and stall will be new

jam77 · January 3rd, 2008, 05:18 PM

can't you port the p heads and make them flow pretty good?

JayVee · January 3rd, 2008, 05:23 PM

bump...

83five0 · January 3rd, 2008, 07:05 PM

the p heads flow pretty good already from what ive seen. heres the plan. i have a fully gutted 83 hatch. gonna go get a 5.0 wgt-40 heads (p or just the 40's), slap performer rpm intake, qf650 carb, 150 shot, trick flow stage 1 cam, lt's, msd ignition and distributor, c-4 with 3200 stall and forward manual valve body, shift kit, some drag radials and frame connectors and solid motor/trans mounts. no a/c no power steering no smog no nothin. this thing doesnt even have the windsheild wipers or motor still on it. hopin to get in the mid 11's- low 12's on this setup. of course im going to re-seal the motor with new gaskets and a new oil pump, pushrods, lifters etc. think i can make 320 on motor?

Tony_90fox · January 3rd, 2008, 07:08 PM

with a 150 shot? Probably more to the wheels.

83five0 · January 3rd, 2008, 07:12 PM
