Default 5.0 HO convert GT40?

I heard that I could get the top end of a explorer motor with the GT40 fuel injection and put it on my 88 5.0 HO...is this possible? Will all the ports match up and all the other stuff? Can anyone help me out?!? THANKS!!!

You're going to need a 96-97 explorer intake that has the EGR port integrated in the manifold. You don't necessarily have to use the fuel injectors, but you will need to use your fuel rail, etc...

If you don't plan on running an EGR then you can get a newer explorer intake.

You need to use both the upper and lower intake you know too...
