I need help identifying the heads on an engine at my local salvage yard.
See, I needed a new EGR tube because mine cracked and was leaking exhaust. I thought they might have one for cheap as the Ford dealer wanted $80 new.
I was led out to the engine storage shed and was shown a very clean 5.0 engine from a 1994. The gentleman got pretty excited when he showed me the engine. He said the wreck it came out of was nice and he heard it was a pretty fast engine but didn't know exactly what was done to it. He knew there was a cam and roller rockers, at least thats what it said on the printout he was holding. But I wanted to know if it had heads, he didn't know.
Here's the bad thing, I had to climb up three levels to get the part off that I wanted so there wasn't alot of room for examination. Also I don't know what to look for as my engine is bone stock and I've not much experience with engines. Im more knowledgeable about suspensions.
I can tell you one thing about the heads for certain, They had the letters "GT" on them in raised letters near the back of the engine and also they looked much cleaner than mine which have 160,000 miles on them. So they might be new. The engine also definitely had new valve cover gaskets so the engine has been apart just before it was put away.
Also it had the stock upper and lower intake manifold.
Are these heads anything special?
