this website kinda says that you must use p specific headers... i really dont wanna put out the money for them so im thinking about going with a plain gt40 explorer motor im not really sure... can anyone find info of someone using stock e7 shorties with the heads...???

you dont need p-specific headers. #7 is tight and you will need a 90deg boot, that is it. run a fiberglass heat boot there.
search 95 snoozer. He made 295 rwhp with gt40p heads/typhoon intake/ comp? cam...i would copy his combo!
also get a new oil pump. and driveshaft, for the $30 or so dollars you will be happy not to have to worry about changing a pump....(if you have done one IN-CAR then you know what im talking about) you dont need a highflow one...just a regular one.
forget rod bolts and waterpump.....the bolts are the least of your worries when something lets go. Also, replace the waterpump when its time....i still have my origional one running strong....ford makes a good waterpump.
i tried using the explorer throttlebody, and while it is physically bigger being 65mm, it wont fit right in, and required welding, etc....i ended up taking it off because i wanted cruise control and eventually bought a aftermarket 70.

oh, and emmissions....
My car has gt40p's, crane 2031 cam, typhoon intake and a Twin turbo setup...42lb injectors
I had NO egr, and no thermactor setup at all, just the smog pump directly pumping into the stock 4-cat h-pipe, and it passed fine......and it passed before when i was n/a....and we have the dyno test!
That is the least of your concerns....those p heads were originally designed because of tightening emissions!

damn guys ... this is helping me out so much... this is a great swap i dont know y more people are not doing it.... lol isnt that like 100whp over stock... maybe the emmisions concern i was reading about was about foxes
Cruise controll is nice... 295rwhp is sick.... where do i buy the boots and can i just cut my curent FMS wires... i know they are extra long....

i just bought one of those accell kits with the 90 deg boots and made my own wires.....worked great

fcam will work pretty good. my cam is similar (i think).
the accell wires Kyle's talking about is a universal kit that you have to make yourself (really just cutting each wire to length and attaching the boots to the end).
i'm also running the throttle body that came w/ the explorer--thought we had to modify it and mount it on it's side.
