I was sure that the chambers of the GT40's were larger than that of the E7's, im not sure about the heads you have now though. I do know for a fact that the GT40P's raise compression a good bit.
It's Gumby's fault.

I heard that even though GTp's need the " sepical plug wires", that I can use them in the bird wit teh Mac headers because there is room. Is this true or stright BS. And can a stock cougar shortblock handle the higher compression?

FYI Mikey, that Cougar block and any '84 block (probably '82 - '85) are exactly the same.  And yes, that compression shouldn't be an issue with that block.

Compression is no big deal. If you run the P heads, you you to use 90* spark plug boots, and in some cases, you might still have minor issues with it. Ill be finding out eventually.

With the GT40P heads,you'll need the Ford Motorsport headers.the plugs go in at a different angle on the P heads.

Ive heard the motorsport headers work best, and Mac sells headers for the P heads, but through the grapevine, ive been hearing that you can use 90* plug boots and shorties.

Same thing I heard. I just don't wana have them on then have to find out the hard way that I need motorsport headers. Just don't have the funds for it right now. If someone else can prove they work with 90* boots and Shorties, I'm game

3g still needs alittle more wiring and the E fans need a relay but thats about all I did so far today. On the 3g side, does the b/o wire go to the battery too?
