Just checked out the link.. They appear to be GT-40Ps and not GT-40s... Doesn't mean it's a bad thing. But if you get them, you may need new headers depending on what you have now.

real gt40's can be bought all day long for $300-$350 used

buy used, do a performance valve job, port the exhaust and polish , clean up the intakes.

yeah it'll cost about $750 total assuming the heads are bought for $300, find someone local , the shipping will you get for $100 or so

Kar Kraft just emailed me back and said that they are stock explorer springs. I'm unsure of what stock (but new) explorer springs can handle.
