I am looking to get a set of GT40's. I know they came on explorers. What other vehicles did thet come on. Please tell the year too.
95 cobras and 96-97 explorers and mountaniers as far as i know i believe that mid way through 97 they switched to the GT40-P design
The iron GT40 heads were used on the 93-95 Cobras, the 93-95 Lightnings, Marine 351's from 89 to 97, Marine 5.0's from 92-97. Plus a few Australian applications.
Second generation (1995-2001) The Explorer saw significant exterior, interior and suspension updates in 1995. The former "Twin Traction Beam" (TTB) front suspension was replaced with a more carlike independent front suspension. The Explorer lineup now consisted of two models: 2-door Explorer Sport and the 4-door Explorer. The Limited was a higher end 4-door. A 210 hp (157 kW) 5.0 L Windsor V8 engine and heavy-duty 4-speed 4R70W transmission were added for 1996, along with a "full time" all-wheel drive system on the Eddie Bauer and Limited in 1997. A more-powerful SOHC 205 hp (153 kW) engine came as an option in 1997 along with an optional 5-speed automatic. A Mercury twin, the Mountaineer, was added in 1997 as well. In 1998, the 5.0 L V8 received new cylinder heads (GT-40P series), which upped power to 215 hp (160 kw). The 5.0 L V8 powered Explorer has become favored in the high performance SUV crowd, with many performance parts available. This is due to the fact that many aftermarket 5.0L Ford Mustang parts are interchangeable with the Explorer variant. Also, the Explorer has aftermarket parts available for it including superchargers, nitrous kits, and headers. The 1995 Explorer was the first production vehicle to use a neon center high mount stop lamp. This was replaced with a more conventional lamp when the liftgate was refreshed in 1998. A front end facelift came in 1999, at which time the XLS name replaced XL as the base model. Like the basic Explorer, the Explorer Sport was significantly updated in 1995. The Eddie Bauer trim level was replaced with Expedition on 2-door Explorers (1995 only, the name would be reused on the 1997 Ford Expedition). The rear was given a face lift for 1998. 2001 also saw the introduction of the Explorer Sport Trac, which put a small pickup bed behind the four normal SUV doors.
"THE OFFICIAL FORD MUSTANG 5.0" Tech manual (published by Ford, sold thru Ford Racing) says 1997-1/4 was the date the change was made. I was wrong.
I called cylinder head service and I can get a rebuilt set of Gt40's for $400 out the door so thats what i'm gonna do.
