I have a set of GT40P heads. They came off a good running 5.0 engine a couple years ago. they have been sitting in my garage since. No broken exhaust studs or intake bolts. I picked them up for my sons Mustang, but since then, he has picked up a Coyote 5.0, so these can go. Also, a Performer...

I ordered one... plan to put it on over the winter

the way I read it is the kit is for 68 - 73 but the pedal upgrade is needed on the 68 - 70

well....I suppose there really isnt a budget...but like I said, since its his daily driver....and hes not a race nut, I just want to freshen up the engine... and yes, figuring on a mild cam and a performer intake. If he was the slightest bit interested in more performance....Id be all over the...

thanks for the link... good info

The engine has a bit over 58000 on it. Runs OK for what it is. Compression test showed a low of 125 and a high of 140. I cant remember the specific cyls right now...but that was the spread.

sorry if I'm missing something....but how would I see a performance improvement with the same head? Im new to Fords...and everyone seems to be telling me that the stock heads flow real bad. We arent looking to make a race car, but if we can swap to a set of heads that flow a bit better, which...
