RE: GT40 crate motor for my 84 gt
you could save some money by buying reman heads from autozone for a 96 explorer 5.0, they are GT40 heads, then get yourself a cam, edelbrock intake, and a nice carb. less than $1500 you'll be running. a GT40 motor is a \regular stock bottom end. no point in buying a crate motor unless your block is split.
