GT40 heads on 5.8
Will GT40 heads fit a 5.8 with stock intake and exhaust?
|
It'll fit the block with I think the holes enlarged but the exhaust manifolds might need to be changed.
|
I plan on getting headers and a new intake, I just can't afford to by everything at once. Didn't know if the Heads would bolt on the stock motor or if I needed to wait and change the heads, intake, and exhaust at the same time.
|
GT40s will fit with no issues with the intake or exhaust manifolds. If they came off a 5L engine the head bolt holes have to be enlarged.
GT40P heads have a unique spark plug angle that make them difficult to fit with factory manifolds and many headers. They also need the head bolt holes enlarged. Do not pay a premium price for either version. Many sellers think they are made of gold. |
Not sure if they are the P's or not.

Another reason why I prefer aftermarket heads...... |
Not paying a fortune. Guy only wants $100.

Just bought a pair of gt40 heads off a 97 explorer. Going on 5.8 I'm building for my signature ride. Paid $96 at pullapart, had 2 other sets there. Lower bolt holes are 1/2 inch already.
