im planning to pick up some gt 40 heads off of an explorer ( not the p heads due to the header and few other changes) and im not really in a hurry to get them on the car cause i want to do everything at one time. Right now i havent seen the heads yet ive gotta go pull them off the car but i would like some suggestions on what i should do to the heads before i put them on like valve springs, lifters etc. I also plan to supercharge the motor at some point

Went to local pick and pull and i couldnt even find a Ford exploroer with a 5.0 in it. i live in Canada and ive never seen a 5.0 explorer before. are they a U.S only thing or what??

they don't seem to be very common up here, and if you do find one chances are the heads will be gone. Lots of people know what those heads are

If you really want a set of gt40 or gt40p heads just go on ebay or look through a few message boards
