Us the search engine as this topic has beat to death... literally. Also, by doing so you can decide for yourself if they will "run around the "P's". Just like the X files said... "the truth is out there."

BTW- A complete 97-newer ford explorer long block can be had for around $800 around here from the junk yards, it has the GT40P heads and the GT40 style intake from the factory. That's a hell of a deal IMHO. You can sell the peices you don't need and recoupe some of your money.

Are the Mercury Mountaineers the same?

Could I use the Autozone ones on my Stang with my mods?

RC

Yep, Just like the Ford Crown Vic is the same as a Mercury Grand Marquise.

You can find a v8 Explorer long block for 800?????? They must wreck alot in Altoona PA......

i see this around in various threads, still have no idea what people are talking about

Aparently a lot of people were wondering cuz this thread sure has had a bit of views.

Alright anyone called an autozone in CA???? I'm going to have to check into this one. sounds like a hell of a deal. But are they going to accept E7's as a core for gt-40's. Should I just not even mention it?

 

[BLKGTPONY]

yea this is good info for us newbies

 

[BlackVert]

get stock gt40Ps hands down. dont mess with any other ford iron

a little secret they are like 180 with core from autozone of course upgrade the valve springs

holy $hit! i wish i had known that 3 months ago! i spent $600 for my thumpers.

I went to autozone here and asked them, the guy said that they didn't sell them, but he didnt look like he knew wtf he was doing. Ill go to a different AutoZone next time and ask them.

 

[squall9393]

I went to Autozone and went to there website looking and they both said the same thing. Call the 800 number. Guess you have to special order them and have them sent to your local Autozone and then they take the core.

 

[mystang94gt]

Ok so now we just need to verify if they will accept the E7's as a core. Has anyone actually done this before??

Squall, Is NC northern CA or North Carolina. Saw you said something the other day about passing CA emissions.

from working at autozone i cant tell you that i highly doubt they will notice the difference between our E7s an the new gt40s. the people who work there usually dont know anything except how to look up a part and then get it in the back.

 

[SN95StangMan]

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

LOL yeah that definitely desribes my experience's with them. I'm going to have to seriously look into this one. Thanks everyone.

...
BTW thats 180 per head

i just noticed this. now i feel a lot better. i am happy with my thumpers, but it is good to know that there may be another low cost option for high flowing heads.

i'll have to check the price at my autozone. is there a specific part number i can ask for to make sure they are looking up the gt40 heads instead of the stock heads?

 

[YEAHLOH95]

i see this around in various threads, still have no idea what people are talking about

aren't they over priced stock heads?

 

[squall9393]

You're late. HairyCanary already said they were ported stock heads.
