Racin Chicken Reply #21 – January 30, 2008, 05:48:30 PM I'd be more than happy to help in anyway I can.I've got a carbed V8. The big question I have for you is what tranny are you gonna run??? I used E7 heads which were from a High Output motor. 130 bucks and they did a grind job on them.If you're looking at the gt40's and P's then expect to spend 300 bucks just for the heads. Plus the money for the grind job.Also the Header options for the GT40's & P's are limited because of the spark plug angle. If you have specific questions PM Cougar SE. He'll help you out alot.

Theres a 9 inch ford rearend which will either be getting 3:50 or 3:70 gears with minispool.ive got a set of e5 truck heads but ive heard some people say there descent and others say there better off as boat anchors.

Regular GT40s use the std plug location... AFIK any header fit's these...Quote from: midget28;201049ive got a c4 and aod trans which are both stock cofiguration b/c of the rules.

OK but GT40s kick their ass... Quote Selected
Racin Chicken Reply #25 – January 31, 2008, 12:32:04 AM Claude (CougarSE) has a set of GT40's and GT40p's. IMHO he's the person to ask questions about them. Quote Selected
Racin Chicken Reply #26 – January 31, 2008, 04:22:08 AM If the e5s are descent heads i might throw the 351w i have back together, i tore it down in hope to build a 393 stroker, unless i can swap these back onto a 302. id prefer the 302 just because of the weight and the well... i never had a problem sticking with the last class i was in using a bone stock 302 non ho against 350s and many 355 sbc's no one beleived me it was a 80,000 mile 302 out of a 85 crown vic. I know a few modified and late model guys that love there ford engines but there very divided on which is the better platform 351w or 302. Quote Selected

Racin Chicken Reply #28 – April 04, 2008, 01:54:59 AM have fun and don't wreck the car up to bad if you can but if all else fails go back to tearing up the MN12s. Quote Selected
Racin Chicken Reply #29 – April 04, 2008, 02:59:12 AM I think you'd be better off with a 650DP carb, the 750 is too big. But then again, you may not need the throttle response and the 750 is slightly easier to tune in it's stock form.Do you have a carb rule or a carb claimer rule?Oh, and stick with the 302. Handling is much more important than horsepower. Quote Selected
