GT40 Intake and GT40P Head Swap on a 89 5.0, what all do I need?

^Yea im still researching a cam....I still have to have the heads checked/cleaned and milled so I have a bit

my gt-40's love the F303 cam....

I ran bbk long tube headers with my gt40p heads, just got a set of plug wires that had 90* ends. As for the cam, ran a n-41 with trickflow springs and really liked it. It sounded great also.

^That sounds nasty. From what I have read a lot of ppl say the TFS1 cam will go good with the heads and the duration is right around where I want to be. Will I need a "chip" OR just a different maf calibrated for 24lb injectors? I take it the MAF does all the necessary "tuning" for these cars right?

best cam for a budget build is the stock mustang cam

Anderson makes some nice cam grinds, but are pricey... My friends have had great luck with the trick flow stage 1 cam with 1.72 rockers, however you have to remember to upgrade the springs as the stock springs are just too soft. Also upgraded pushrods and guide plates are cheap insurance. Also, the ACT sensor port is not tapped on the explorer lower intake, so you will have to do that or have it done... Also, any taller than stock valvecovers will have a difficult time clearing, so a spacer will most likely be needed, requiring you to find bolts or studs to hold it down.

The Ace hardware on Air Depot has the 7 inch bolts that will acomodate an explorer intake with a 1/2 inch spacer. It took me 6 months but I finaly got them to order a box :-)
