96-97.5 Exploders had the same GT40's as the 93-95 Cobras. 97.5-01 Exploders had the P heads.

From what I've been reading, it looks like the BBK headers will work IF you use spark plugs for the P heads (not stockers) and 90* boots instead of the stock style wires. I misunderstood...I thought the BBK's would work. Now the FRPP stainless and ceramic headers WILL work on the P heads as well. The problem w/ some shorties is that the primaries don't extend far enough away from the head to clear the plugs (since the angle is different), but it looks like stock headers will work since the primaries are smaller than aftermarket. Although I don't know why you'd upgrade heads and not headers!!

5.0, do you have the P heads already or are you looking to get some? If you already have them, see if someone locally has a set of BBK shorties you can use for fitment just to see how it all fits together.... If you don't already have them, I'd get the GT40's instead.
Yea I already have the P's. I think your right I need to look around here and find someone with a pair not installed then check that way. Im thinking I could use some 90 degree boots and maybe some Accel shorty plugs and if necessary some heat shield boots, but if I have to go that far I might as well buy some new P heads......... The heat shield boots are like $80!
