Ths springs should be good up to 520 lift. I would just get some good 1.6RR with a B or E cam.

Good luck with those Mac equal Length headers,I have the WP Jack Roush heads and the equal lengths wouldnt clear #4 spark plug,and they are supposed to be the same angle as the GT40P's,I hope I am wrong but good luck.

You have to get special headers for the GT-40P's.

Most headers can be made to work with the P heads. You dont HAVE to get special headers, but you should to prevent future frustration.

I'm using BBK shorties on mine, and the only plug that is close is the #7, so I just used a 90degree boot on that wire. The passenger side has plenty of room on all 4 plugs.

like Dark_5.0 said, your springs are fine up to .520 lift, so as long as you dont go crazy with a cam choice, then you'll be ok there.

BTW RR's are a must IMO.

Well anyone with the P heads what headers are you using?

jruppert 12-25-2002 05:07 PM

I have a set of GT-40 P heads on my '94 GT. I use Motorsport 1 5/8 unequal length headers. I did take my headers and heat them up and put some dents into them around the plugs on the drivers side. A couple plugs are almost impossible to get to when the header is on.
I have some pics of my heads with the headers if you want to see what I did. Email me at josh_ruppert@hotmail.com and I can send them. I cant figure out how to put them in this message without using a web page as source.

P Head Upgrades
 
Just FYI there's an outfit in SW Indiana called headfixers that
sells upgraded P heads - guides, springs, larger SS valves, and
drilled for smog etc. They've got a set listed on ebay right now.
Pretty decent price for what should be good heads.

They might have some add on parts you'd be interested in.

Where did you end up getting your heads from?

Scrapla 12-29-2002 07:25 PM

I got them from jegs, a little under $600 for the pair.

I purchased some 1.6RR on ebay from a guy called ped5stang. I have bought 3 things from him and they all were top quality for used parts.

Also in you pictures of the coil - That red wire from the battery may be on the wrong side of the soleniod??? Just a thought if you have not tried it out yet.
