Default gt-40 question

i have a 93 gt and its time to replace the heads..i have all the other supporting mods:
3.73's
intake man., TB, mass air
full exhaust, pulllies, etc.

i found a set of gt-40 irons w/ 1.6 rockers..if i picked them up and bolted them on would it be alright? i wasnt sure if those rockers will work w/ a stock cam

i also was curious how the e-cam would work w/ that combo

the stock rockers are also 1.6's so they will work. i don't know about the e-cam. what kind of intake manifold do you have?

they have been hot-tanked and new valve seals have been done
he said he will sell me the heads w/ ford motorsport 1.6 rockers on them for $450

BTW: they aren't the explorer heads

when u say port-matched, do u mean to the intake or the exhaust side

both pics below are of an intake I did....but your head would look the same...also if you have headers you can grind the weld down for even more flow
