![]() Decide if you want GT-40 or GT-40P heads.
Decide if you want the explorer or GT-40/Cobra intake. Up-grade to a 65mm TB Headers Anything but the stock fuel pump. At least an alphabet cam (i.e B,E, or F cam) While you have the timing cover off go ahead and change the double roller timing chain. Thats if you want to do it right. If it were me and I wanted the most HP for the cheapest price Milled GT-40P heads with Long Tube headers. Explorer intake with a ported lower and 65mm TB B-303 cam 190lph fuel pump If you look around all of that can be had for $1,000.00 bux Not bad for a low 13 second car with gears and slicks. JMO,

![]() I dont see why anyone would want to go with the Gt40P or Gt40Y heads. Its a waste of money in my eyes. You mise well get the GT40X or another type of head

T5 - F THAT - that carbed engine makes power above 4,000 rpm - not my idea of a good, powerful, street friendly driver. Most of our cars weigh WAY more than yours. Carbs and short runner carb intakes are good for peak numbers - compare average area under the torque curve for the real picture in comparing two engine combos.

How is your car set-up. Do you have a tubular K member and A-arms and gutted interior or what?

![]() The guy that sold me the engine at the Ford dealerhip copied the paper and gave me it. It clearly shows its the exact same motor that I have, what are you talking about, look in the bottom right hand corner! I have been in 11 second cars and beleave me my car can hit that with no power adders. I might not be able to beat you I dont really care theres always someone faster I was just saying that because you are trying to tell me that my motor is not the same one. Bullshit it isnt LOL

![]() You go T5. Rock on with your bad little self. Do you always talk out of your a**hole? Based on your other replies I'd say "yeah you sure do". When your ready to make some real power, you may want to ditch that b-cam. And that doesn't mean switch to the x303 either. I'm sure that would've been your next move.

![]() lol this is just a fun car I have always wanted to make a manual and have a fun little thing to drive around. I already had my fast car in the 60's boys. And I got this motor for a really good deal from a buddy of mine at the dealship. It was only like 2800 bucks. Just a quick little replacement from the old tired 302 in the car before.
