Now that i work at Advance, im thinking about buying some GT40 heads, from a 96-97 explorer. However they have two different part numbers. Which one is better?
E5TE, E7TE

or

E6SE Thanks guys. Also, the E5TE, E7TE heads cost about $30 more... im guessing they're better????

none of those are gt40 head ive gone to autozone/advanced/oriley etc and theheads come up wit hthe wrong part number they should be f6,f7f8f9g0,g1 1996-2001 the gt40 will also have gt near the head bolt on the exhaust side and the gt40p's will have gtp

Oh, Thanks. Damn. I want to buy through Advance due to my discount. Maybe i can have them special ordered. If not, the only place to find them is in a junkyard? Thanks rmodel.

yeah the e6 are the crappy high swirl heads the e5/e7 are basicall the same thing its what came on the 5.0ho in 1985,1987-1995 i called ford thru the shop i could get assembled gt40 for about 260 a piece

$260 each? Thats a bargain if you can use your existing valvetrain, intake and exhuast.. Its still a bargain if you need to change some stuff. WOW.

yeah i might spring for some idk yet? they are a direct bolton might have to use different pushrods(my heads are the rail style and the g40s use the pedestal style) but other than that its a piece of cake

Stupid Advance auto. They're trading good GT40 heads for some cheap crap.

ya but the only problem with gt 40 heads is that they have huge compression chambers
