alright, well i have the cam and intake picked out...
I want a set of gt-40 heads and want to get them ported... about how much would that cost... along with getting new rings and other things?
EDIT- all the explorer motors i found were missing heads and were just a block, and the guys wanted like 200 for just that.. so ill just try to find some gt-40 heads.
and i decided to get a trickflow cam, and the rpm air gap intake from edelbrock.

immediately go buy hot rod build that exact motor except add a forged rotating assembly so you can turn around 8000rpm and make over 500hp N/A[sm=wootwoot.gif][sm=wootwoot.gif][sm=wootwoot.gif][sm=yeahsmile.gif][sm=yeahsmile.gif][sm=yeahsmile.gif]

RE: Bought a
how much should i pay for a set of gt-40 heads? i dont want to get screwed over, like some of the guys were trying to do yesterday.
(i don't look like the average car enthusiast) and im only 17... so some guys were trying to sell me a motor for 2k... so yeah... i want to have a basic idea of what the highest i should pay for a set of gt-40 heads should be.
And what to look for to be sure they are actually gt40 heads.... where are the 3 bars at?

explorer head 2-400$ for a remaned set from the zone is like 600$ so you dont want to go overboard i bought a complete explorer 5.0 motor for 200$ so it all depends on the seller. dont let the gt40p scare you away either, if you dont have headers you gotta buy some anyways right?
