i dont think the explorer had cobra heads. i thought the cobra did have bigger than a gt but tim know a good bit about them so id kinda lean towards what he said. but the explorer did have a gt-40 type intake.

Exlplorers had GT-40P heads which are better than GT-40 heads. They flow better, have a smaller combustion chamber, and the spark plug location allows for a better burn as it is located closer to the center of the combustion chamber, although you need special header because of that.

the late 5.0 explorers (97-99 i think) had gt40-p heads. they are similar to the gt40's but not exactly the same.
these heads are an inexpensive upgrade to the stock 5.0 gt heads (they are E7TE's).
Although if you plan on using them, you have to get special headers...something to do with the
spark plugs i think.
