I've googled and all I come up with are GT40 vs GT40P as it pertains to upgrading Mustangs or other 302s....
I'm looking for a set of heads. If all else bolts up, I'd rather have GT40P heads as I understand. I get that the factory manifolds from Mustangs won't clear the spark plugs, but I want to know if the factory Explorer tubular headers will?
I broke a intake manifold bolt in my '97 EB, then broke a easy out. First machine shop said he couldn't get it out, and referred me to a shop with a special machine that could. They said $200 per bolt, and recommended I get heads.
Since I have GT40 (3bar) heads, can I replace them with a older casting (lets say I have a complete rebuilt set of C9 or E7 heads)
I'm sorry if these sound like dumb questions, but I'm not able to run out and look at my heads, or my explorer, or my other heads, and they are all currently far away from me in storage, or at the machine shop, or my fathers....
