so when i go to pick n pull how can i tell what year explorer im looking at ....im looking for the gt40 heads as well as intakes

 

i beleive it is 97 1/2 to 01 i think.

 

but how do i know the explorer is that year?

 

on the door you might be able to look at the vin and information right there... i dont know.

 

there is a white sticker under the hood that tells the year as well, but the door tag will tell you the actual production date....

oh and Dthompson... please dont spread anymore gt-40 mis-information

GT-40 heads are 96-97.5 explorer/mountaineer
GT-40P heads are 97.5-2000

 

i noticed that mis info but thanks adder ....ill look for the sticker

 

real 40's have 3 hash marks, p's have 4 hash marks.

 

Hey we have a pick and pull that just opened here lol. I know of LKQ i worked for the for 2 years driveing a loader.

 

if it has a 5.0 your good to go

 

Thats not correct. Did you even read adder's post. You need the 96-97.5's with a 5.0. Otherwise they are not gt-40's but gt-40P's
