ya, i wouldnt plan on resuing head bolts myself =P. I very well might be able to do this, i found an intake for 165, i found bolt on gt40p's for 290 shipped, but then i need new headers....so i should just stick with gt40s, it would be nice to find some gt40s for 300shipped, anyways, what cam do you guys recommend for a gt40 setup like this?

I might be selling some stuff so i can make this h/c/i possible =D.

What could happen if you use the same head bolts. We did my buddys h/c/i with all the same bolts with no problem.

5spd GT

Technically, you could reuse the head bolts. If I am not mistaken, the harmonic balancer bolt is torque to yield as well, but so many reuse it.

Just do not overtorque it.

wow thanks soooo much for this, what do you recommend i get for a cam.

edit: what site are those part numbers from?

87WSP5.0

Are the GT40 heads rebuilt for $300. Cause if they need to be rebuilt add more for new springs, valves, retainers and machining.

5spd GT

Most are from summitracing.com, minus the Rollmaster timing chain and the ROL Headgaskets.

The latter two are of the best quality I have seen personally, which is why I added them.

Good Luck!

92cobra

there straight off of an explorer with low miles, they wont need to be rebuilt

5spd GT

As for the cam, I suggest contact Ed Curtis at www.flowtechinduction.com.

Check out the site, you will see he means business and does many daily driver/street car grinds.

ya and he costs a fortune, im trying to get an h/c/i fully done for 900 bucks. and i think it might be possible now.

I have never heard it being okay to reuse head bolts but if you think it's worth the chance then be my guest. I have never heard of the harmonic balancer bolt being torque to yeild but even if it was it's a harmonic balancer, not your cylinder heads. Big difference and much more involved to change one than the other especially after you blow a head gasket.
