    I'm slapping on a pair of unmilled gt40p's and i'm hoping the stock pushrods will work. I was going to order some shims just in case but i could only find them in .030 or .060 thickness. These seem like they may be a little too big so would I have to order new pushrods if my geometry is off by...

    I talked to some guy who is selling 5.0 shorties and he says they are Ford Motorsport steel headers. When I look online all i can find is stainless or ceramic shorty headers by ford, and he claims they are not stainless. So does ford make regular steel shorties? I'm thinking that maybe they are...
