gt-40p's

i was thinking about getting some cheap p heads.

one question though. can i still run my MAC longtube headers with these heads? i have heard that you need different headers because of the sparkplug angle.

FiveOhPatrol ran standard MAC long-tubes with his GT-40P's.

It can be done.

As far as I know nothing. It it's anything I'm sure it's quite minor, I'll ask him tommrow and get him to post in this thread.

I know the header itself doesn't require any work to be done to bolt up. The bolt pattern is the same, it's just that the angle of the spark plug hole puts the wire boots close to the header from what I understand. Some shorter plugs or some boot insulators would clear that up.

I have bbk longtubes but the prob may be similar. I couldn't get to the drivers side sparkplug with a regular socket. I had to cut a socket in order to remove the spark plugs.

Drew said the same thing, he had to use a wrench on the spark plug socket because he couldn't get the socket and the ractchet in there.
