yeah i got that exploder manifold to go with it. i think im gonna see about port matching it before i use it since i already have the stock lower assembled with the fuel rails etc. i ordered a svo sn95 adapter for the intake for 50$ all i need is the gaskets and a timing chain. im gonna take the gt40s off and get the stupid bolts drilled out and im gonna port them out and get them decked and use them on my 65 more than likely or on my fox who knows id rather pickup some more afr for the 65 though

what bolts were you talking about drilling out??..reason I asked if it was a 351 ...I thought you were refering to drilling the holes in the heads out to fit 351 head bolts

no, i picked up a 96 explorer motor and the front 2 bolts next to the water port in the front snapped off, they had already been messed with i believe looked like epoxy around the bolts etc. so its been sitting i came across this on ebay and got a decent deal i think considering i got the bolts, rockers, heads and cam. got the entire setup for less than a new set of afr 165

i got a cleve im i think im gonna put in the 65 eventually it pulled the tires in my 72 with an open rear[8D] and add in the extra 1000lb weight advantage then it will be a little quicker i think. or my buddy has a boss 347 stroker i might pick up for 1500$ its got a fully ported 2v cleve head full roller late model block the bush clevor intake, id like to get than and a set of afd heads it would be wicked
