hey guy just got back from the parts yard and picked up the upper and lower gt-40 intake from an explore. Got a few questions, Its pretty much a bolt on power right, i mean like no major modifications are needed.

Also i have a gasket set for my stock intake already would the head to intake gaskets work form that kit and i just need to get the lower to upper gasket,or do i need to get the entire gasket kit for the explore? thanks guys

the gaskets should be the same from head to intake. nice find for 100 bucks. and yes, just a bolt on deal for the most part.

ill get them up in alittle bit. Whats the best way to clean the inside of the upper intake

parts wash if you have access to one. other than that(and this is probably not how you should do it) but my old stock intake i was trying to remove the stock coating so i just layed it in a tub of aircraft paint stripper and that thing was cleaner than a whistle inside and out.

Excellent deal for $100....Stock lower gaskets will work fine...post some pics when you have it installed!

Get it Powder Coated! ...It will great...Did that once when I bought a GT 40 Tubular used and some one had painted Black...I had mine Powder Costed Silver and looked great!

good find , but why didnt u pick up the gt40 heads while u were there and then done all at once and had a little more jump in hp to actually feel the difference?
