Default GT-40 Intake

I just ran up on a set of GT-40 heads i'm gonna put on to my 94 GT. I know these are cheap heads but they will help get a little more power from the charger until i can build a forged bottom end and good heads. They are just plain GT-40's, with dual valve springs. My question, and i'm just reassuring myself, but my 94 stock intake will bolt to the heads right? Cuz i'm waiting on the heads to get here, and if i have to have a GT-40 intake i wanna round one up so i can get this done. Thanks

Well i just bought the heads yesterday, and have worked the last two days. Hopefully gonna go in the morning to try to round up an intake of an explorer, i'm just asking for worst case scenario. Had a buddy to get spanked by an all wheel drive turbo eclipse, and i'm sure he's gonna hit me up in a day or so. So i wanna have a little confidence. It really is amazing what those little cars will do though, cuz my buddy runs a 13.7 and the elclipse put a car length in between them.

The heads will bolt right up, but your stock lower will become the bottleneck. Also, grind the thermactor bumps out of the exhaust ports and those heads will flow a lot better.
