Gt40

[RED 95GT]

yeah i have been lookin at them and the edelbrock .was wanting to stay with the bolt on with no additional parts , seems the gt40 stuff needs an elbow and some other stuff. but im not scared of the work just dont have the parts knowlage yet

 

[duh09]

Every single aftermarket intake requires an elbow.

 

[RED 95GT]

good to know , any other parts ? tuning ? just for intake , i might smooth and match the factory one , just to see

 

[lilj4u2njoy]

as stated, for our cars you will need an elbow... dont pay 80 bucks for one, there are plenty of people who sell em for around 30 on average, and if you decided to use a spacer on the intake you will need to get an adapter for your egr tube which is about 11 bucks at summit... pretty easy upgrade tho for an intake

 

[duh09]

You might need a tune but thats hard to say. Of course, for a tune to work, you'll need O2 sensors....

ha funny guy !! iv found gt40 upper and lower for round $200, good deal ?

 

[RED 95GT]

i never said it was my choice , the car came without them , i actualy plan on reinstaling them with a new exhaust system

 

[lilj4u2njoy]

i would say 200 is a good deal, but offer em 150 and go from there... cause gt40 upper and lowers are a dime a dozen

 

[RED 95GT]

yeah i plan on goin to a yard and see if i can get the intake and maybe some heads

After doing some horse trading and selling some stuff I got my GT40 setup (heads and both upper and lower intakes) for about $150. If you have some you-pull-it places up your way check them out. You can get both intakes here for about $75 and $50 for each head around here.

 

[RED 95GT]

you got a steal good job

 

[RED 95GT]

do i need to look for 96 97 explorer for all ?

 

[95MustangGT]

Not neccessarily. I forget which years they were, but some had external EGR and some had internal EGR. I think the later Explorers ran an internal EGR system. I have GT40 heads and the intakes I run have the holes for internal EGR, I believe. May be it's just my upper or lower that's set up for internal EGR though.

 

[RED 95GT]

cool . i will be lookin

Holy cow!!! Around here, the intake for 150, and the heads for 150 each is a steal!!! You should start an online thing with those!

Ok ..got a gt40 upper and lower , who makes the cheaper elbow ? And I might be lookin for some heads , gt40p with 4 marks ?

 

[RED 95GT]

Also , the lower is an internal egr guess it has a port between front and rear runners , will this be any problem ?

$$ i got , power i want , got to figure out how i get my fix

If you have money, then the junkyard is perhaps not the easiest or best route to take. A trick flow top end kit would be an easier path. Or better yet, just buy a supercharger kit and bolt it on - more power with less hassle than a heads cam intake combination, not to mention easier to install.

I think it's probably a good idea for you to stop mouthing off to the membership, listen to those members who are trying to help you despite your attitude, and learn something.

Ok man ...its not me mouthing off ..yes he did piss me off but I told the guy the car didnt have them on it and he just wouldn't shut it ... Thanks for you info and opinion

Patrol through CL and forums. As previously stated, you can get the elbows for around 30 used, or 100ish new. Hate to say it, but I dunno if the egr locale will be an issue. With the heads, remember if you go the GT40p route, you will need different headers.
