96 explorer engine
i called prob 10 places today lookin for gt40 heads . one place said might have em junk yard for 150 for both and supose to let me know n morning . but i also found another place that had 2 whole engines out of 96 explorer . he wouldnt sell heads but said whole motor for 450 they have under 80,000 miles on em . i thought that was pretty good deal . if i can come up with money i think im gonna grab one and swap mine out . is there any difference or will that motor and bolt right up in my car with my wire harness and all . and how much more power u think that motor would be then mine .

Im researching this myself..I have a 97 Explorer motor with 60K in the garage. There are mods to be made to the intake I know to make it work and if the motor you get has GT40P heads, a couple of headers work and then there are some P headers from a couple of manufacturers. On P heads, there is an issue with spark plug location and fitment of reg. 302 headers. P heads are suppose to be a little better than the GT40's.
There are a couple of guys in another forum that have put explorer motors in their Fox bodies and have a couple of mods, good drag racing suspension and are running 11's/12's in the quarter mi.
Cam should be swapped they say along with new roller rockers and valve springs..
I am still researching, I am about to pull the motor from a 95 I just got this weekend with a bad motor.
