GT40 irons?

NotchJohnson · 09-06-2002, 05:43 PM

As I posted before, I just picked up a pair of gt40 iron heads from one of my buddies. They have been ported to fit a 1250 intake gasket. Are any of you guys running these heads, or know anyone who does. Im just trying to get some ideas of some combos I could put together with these heads. If you guys could run some numbers or times by me I would reallt appreciate it. Thanks - John

See my sig for mods, chances are the car will pick up a couple of mph with a better carburetor.
