5.0 Head Identification

[Southern Gent]

Hey guys, I have a 1998 5.0 Explorer AWL. I've been told this engine has the GT heads on it & was wanting to find out how I go about telling if this is true or not. Is there some kind of marking on the outside of the head casting that tells if they are GT heards? I'd appreciate any help on this subject. Thanks

You have gt 40p heads. All the 5.0's have the P heads starting mid 97. And in case you want to be super sure it'll have the external egr, which you'll find coming out of the top of your passenger side exhaust manifold.

Thanks techieman33. I hear these are the "good" heads to have. Is that true?
