Default what a day this is going to cost me.

what a day, i brought my car to a speed shop that specializes in mustangs and to make a long story short, i need to replace my gt40p heads with some other kind. this way i can get the headers to fit inbetween the shock towers with the spark plug coming out on an angle.

any suggestions. i want to keep it as cheap as possible. is there anything for a set of heads for under $800? assembled. is anyone selling a pair or want to buy mine after i do this switch.

ive been researching heads but i dont understand all the lingo. so im not sure what to buy.

Ummmm, you need the headers that are made for the GT40P's my friend. Obviously you didn't know that they take a special one compared to the rest of the SBF heads on a fox.
BUT is this for the car in your sig? These work on fox's for the angles but should work on that one too.

Here are MAC's

FRPP's are supposed to work to

yea i tried those headers but they dont fit in my car. and yes this is for the 67. manufactureres told me their made to fit the fox body. anway so a shop told me to get gt40 alum heads. are these good heads or better than the gt40p. also while im in there should i get a cam done too.
will upgrading to roller rockers bea big difference in power also

and once i decide on doing this. my gt40p will be up for grabs.
