Lol, you should build one, so you can test drive it whenever you want. Fairly cheap, here's what I payed: $371 for remanufactured gt40p heads, $180 for B-303 cam, $50 for Edelbrock performer timing chain, $30 for smaller belt for smog pump delete, $100 for explorer upper/lower intake, $50 in paint, $200 in felpro gaskets, $70 in oil/antifreeze.

$1,051 and I do not regret doing it. Possibly the best mod we've done to the car so far.

For those who missed this video at the bottom of page 3...

Sounds great! Glad you're happy with the results

If I end up taking it to the track, I will definately record it and show a slip. I have never taken mine to the track before, i'm sure I will eventually.

you should bring it to Ford Fever Classic October 15-17th ive been there every year since 2005 and it keeps getting better. If you dont want to race it there you can put it in the show. Its at MIR

where did you end up finding re-manufactured heads for $371??

Sounds good aaron, i'm sure my october will be open so I might just make a trip up there.

Ryan: Found them on Ebay for $185.50 a piece from a machine shop in Clearwater, FL named Odessa Cylinder Head. Now, alot of people say don't trust ebay and my father had gotten screwed over 5 years ago, but, I called them up personally instead of purchasing through ebay and got my order within a week in a half. Great buy!

oh nice, but with the gt40 'P' heads, you had to get new headers right?

I didn't have enough money to buy new ford racing P headers yet, so I modified my stock shorties by denting the tubes a little bit with an air gun tool, so that the spark plugs do not touch them and burn up. I had to modify one spark plug, the #7, with a 90 degree spark plug boot because it was going to touch the header and there was no way to dent it. #4 and #3 is where you need to dent the headers because the spark plug boots will touch. But, with a little bit of effort you have heads that compete with edelbrocks and what not for a fraction of the price. I had thought about going the gt40 head way instead of the gt40p, but that is not worth it at all, it's practically pointless because the HP gain is less than half of the gt40P gain.
