93GT and 95GT heads are excatly the same. Are you having them ported or anything before you swap?

Might be a good time to upgrade to roller rockers, you can probably find a good deal on some Crane Cobra 1.7 rockers.

hahahha awaiting approval


I put on cobra rockers and liked them, it was a big plus that they fit under my valve covers because most aftermarket valve covers don't fit on sn95 5.0's[:@]

If you use 1.7make sure you will have A. The spring rating you will need for the increased lift (Stock springs will generally bind at .510 and above).
B. You have piston clearance (if you are running an aftermarket cam you may produce too much lift with the 1.7's for your piston type if they are not notched)

I would say run the 1.6's I like Harland Sharp, but they are pricey, Crane and Crower were the rockers I preferred in the past, but there are quite a few out there.

I used 1.7's with a tfs1 cam on p&p GT40p heads and didn't have any piston valve problems, it seems like most guys can get by without problems with the 1.7's
