So what do you guys think..it has its issuies but its a very clean and well maintained car...I found out what that odd clunk was....burnt valves......:( Can i replace the whole cylinder head, from a jyard motor, or would i have to replace both? just a quik qustion..

i would replace both with the later E7T HO heads or GT40 heads from an explorer/mountaineer. heck while the heads are off id get a cam for it as well.

if you only want to do one head than you would just need a good head but one that matches the stocker.

the car looks nice. did it by any chance come from the gardner area?

I say go for the GT40 heads. It looks really clean. Is the interior just as nice? I just saw some trunk emblems on Ebay if no one here has some. There were like 3 or 4 in one auction.

If you're on a budget,grab a set f heads from a 5.0 EFI pickup (E-7 heads).They are really cheap,and are a lot better than what you have now (Not as good as GT40's,but,it all depends on how deep your pockets are).You're going to have to pull the intake and one of the heads anyway,you may as well do both heads and get it over with.

Thanks guys, for now i dont want to get too deep into the motor, but i am interested in some gt40 or E7s... The interior is just as clean, but my dash is out (heater core..long story)... ti came from britton street in chicopee from the original owner... And i already have the emblem for the trunk, just havent installed it yet. Thank you anyway...I have the window sticker and all that stuff tooo in the cool little velvet pouch.The only thing i have to do before i drive it is replace all the bushings front and back, when you go down the road and swerve from left to right i feel like the car wants to drift.....i already did the ballljoints and ti rod ends and stabilizer bushings, but i still get this aweful squeak everytime i turn the wheel. Dont forget my gf has a blue ls pics coming soon just had a snowstorm..... And my soon to be dd is a 96 f250 heavy duty...Thanks guys!!!!
