Engine Tech / HO conversion
After you do what Vinnie said drop on an HO-65mm upper intake and HO-60mmthrottle body
Then you e6 heads are ok but in time get your self HO/e7s.
Then good exhaust w/headers and you good to go.

Engine Swapping / Man-O-War vs BOSS vs stock 5.0 block
The boss and manowar blocks are good but why spend the money and cheap out on the heads. Not knocking the “p”s there good heads but for the money you’re spending on the block why not go w/a good aluminum head. Or just stay w/ the stock block experts say it can hold 500hp.if your building for a class that requires ford heads (ex. GT40P) stay w/the stock block and build it right.


My 2 cent go w/a 351 block it’s built almost as strong as a boss block and free displacement.

What's wrong with the gt40p heads? worked fine for me and bunch of other people i know...


Your right he will be just fine w/GTP heads just keep in mind headers.
If he’s reusing his headers go w/the GT40 if his buying headers then either one. And the GTPs are easy to come buy since they were on 97 to 2000+ explorer and mountainers.

I wish I had a set of GT40s but they go for about $350 + $75 dollars shipping on ebay. Anyone know where I can get a decent price on a pair?


Forget EBay go to your local junkyard and tell them your looking for heads for a 96’explorer. You might not want to tell them what your doing the price might go up. I paid 100 a head and 150 for the whole intake set-up off a 97 explorer. 97¼ and up were GTP.

Plastigauge was, by my estimates, around .0015-20, my book says anywhere between 10 and 30 is good to go.  Haven't installed the rods yet, that's tonight.

Stock HO pistons.  Its an HO block.  I already have all the parts (new double roller, E7 Heads (unless I find something better cheap before I install them), new WP, new freeze plugs, Stock HO cam with roller lifters numbered before removal.  I made my typical "Box-o-Holes" and everything is numbered rockers, lifters, pushrods..etc.

As for cleanliness, everything is clean and stored in sealed tubs.  I need to finish cleaning the piston surfaces.

I have done a few headgaskets (3.8SC, 5.0, Saab 2.0), just never a bottom end. 


This is basically a re-ring.  Its a learning experience, the car isn't really worth dumping a high buck motor into.  I just always wanted to assemble an engine.  Its pretty low-buck.


Ignore what I said first I jump the gun a little on what you were looking for that’s what I get for watching TV and reading at the same time. Anyway you stated you might be looking for cheap heads in place of your E7s I used iron GT40s off a 97 explorer stay away from the GTP heads. And the intakes to are gt40 too. Just my 2 cents

Engine Tech / Question about GT40 heads
Quote from: Bob;253516
are you thinking about buying those gt-40 alum heads? I would research it more, for that kind of money you can get a much nicer head. A couple that come to mind are : trickflow, edelbrock, afr etc... ask around see what the faster 302's with aftermarket heads are running.


cant agree more
personally AFR good bang for the money.
