Thread: I need to know some specs for my 351 heads

Tweet

There are many ok, fair and even good OEM heads available. Unfortunately, these that you have are not. 351cid D0OE-C/G, GT40Ps from Expolrer's and Expeditions to name a couple are pretty good. Then you get into a bazillion or so after market iron and aluminum heads that start fairly inexpensively and go up from there. It all depends on what you want to do with the car in the end and how many $$ you have to get to that point.

A question, Dave... What years Explorer's have the GT40P's???? Could always use an extra set of Windsor heads and the weather is almost nice enough to go do a bit of junk yarding!!!! Wouldn't mind finding a set....

Yep, the D0OE's and C9OE's are the ones to get. I have half a dozen C9OE's and they perform great.

Dave,
They started installing them on Explorers in '97 and ran thru the 5.0L run in that SUV. And I missed a complete pair at $50 a couple of years ago.
Weather getting good? Snow is being predicted for the Great Northeast tomorrow and Thursday. And I have my '31 to paint this month while my wife will be in England. Lotsa luck.

The 97-2000 (maybe even 01) Explorers have Gt40p's. Here a couple of pics on how to tell the difference between gt40's & gt40p's....Note, the P's also have a "P" on the corner of head.....Happy junk yarding!
