Tell me about it. I just coughed up $536 shipped for mine.
Then again, mine is in mint shape.
Holy *rap - I sell ported and cleaned up like new Explorers for less than that.

Sorry for the delay guys I will add the information to the main post.
Length of bolts for Upper to Lower(w/o any spacer)
5/16-18 x 6" bolts. You'll need 4 of these
5/16-18 x 1" bolts You'll need two of themWith a one inch spacer you'll need
qty 4, 5/16-18 x 7" long
qty 2, 5/16-18 x 2" long
If you are going to order a Spacer (1 inch or 3/8"). Order one for a Cobra as it will have more bolts that you need. The GT-40 upper only uses two of the long bolts.
The studs for the TB and EGR are the same as the stock H.O. Pieces
5/16-18 x 4 1/2" long. You'll need four of these.
The Gt-40 Tubular upper weighs in at 11 lbs with no accessories bolted to it.
The Explorer upper casting weighs exactly 10 lbs more for a total of 21 lbs, without accessories.
But my lower doesn't have the holes for the coolant line from the EGR. I was told that I could not even hook up the EGR and just cap it off and not worry about it since I am not worried about emissions....is this correct?
Right. I found out I don't have the ACT port nor the coolant port on the back left. I can just cap off the EGR coolant ports, but still hook it up. I was told that'd still work.
That's what threaded rod from Home Depot or Ace Hardware is for. Use lots of Never-Seeze on the bolts since they tend to corrode badly and then you can't get them out without a lot of effort.Eh, the EGR is for emissions...I could care less. As long as it will still run correctly...
Oh, and where can I pickup the two 5/16"-18 x 8" bolts needed for the upper intake to lower for the GT40.
NAPA couldn't get them. I could get them from McMastercarr but I'd like the exact ones I need.
