just regular ol' GT40's

the difference chamber size is just because ford left more meat on the bottom of the head for the explorers to drop the compression ratio. i think its something like .030

hard to find cylinder head and intake combo...usually its cylinder head and cam or intake and carb

nevertheless found this....also has a cam but might be a bit more than your looking for

the only ones i know of are the edelbrock and holley packages, both are of high quality. the GT40 heads are stock ford pieces, so you know the quality is good.

I think this may make sense for me.Would the 600 Holley I have be okay with this set up? Just bought it last year.

A 600cfm Holley would work great with that, but you'd definately need some gears, and the mileage won't be too great

yeah the 600 will be fine, seems alot of people are really digging the 570 street avengers, they seem SO small - but with all the good results i may pick one up myself instead of a 625
