Default What cars came with GT40 heads????

I went to the junkyard looking for explorers to get me a set of gt40 heads today and all i could find was v6s.
I was just wondering if you guys could help me out and tell me what else they came on other than the explorers.

94-95 cobras also had gt40 heads. If you look on ebay, it seems like there is gt40 heads on there all the time. Good luck in your search.

better flow, the GT40P heads flow better than your regular GT40 heads.

you need special headers to fit the gt-40 p heads.
heads make a big difference.
even just opening the ports on the stockers to match the gaskets makes a difference.
more flow=more power.
