What kind of intake are you looking for? As for the heads, have you tried the local Ford truck boneyards? The Ford Explorers with 5.0s have GT40-esque heads...
Hell I completely missed that it was a ford you were building. I got a SBF just sitting in the yard. Its an older 2V supposed to be a 302. You can have anyrhing you want off it. It was a running engine when it came home and its been wrapped so I'm pretty sure the heads are good. Tell what head numbers to look for and I'll go give it a peak. I don't know a whole helluva lot about small block Ford pieces.
Oh no you don't. There's no way this post is gonna slip to page three and ruin my chances at winning a Racefab-built Ford raffle engine! Back to the mother funkin' tire-smoking top, baby!

Will they bolt up to a mid 70s 302? Will it require any machine work or piston changes? How much more hp would we be talking here??
I would help out if I had an Ford parts... You taking collections to help pay for the parts you need?
Django - The later model Ford Explorers and other trucks came with cast iron GT40 heads and GT40P heads, some of which are regarded as highly by the Mustang guys as the Mustang Cobra heads. Here's a jumping off point to learn more: http://www.themustang-net.com/tech_articles/gt40p.shtml As for interchange, the small block heads pretty much all interchange. The 351W heads (and most aftermarket aluminum heads) do have larger bolt holes that require special bolt sleeves to bolt these heads onto a 289/302/5.0 block. Other than that and keeping an eye on head CCs to make sure you don't raise or lower your compression too much, they all interchange. (351C heads will also work with the 289/302/351W engines, but not without modification.)
No Ford engine stuff here........ But I do have a $20 bill. PM me your check cashing name and snail mail address and it's yours.......to buy pieces for the raffle engine ... I like Chevrolet motors in my Fords .

zonk, that engine will look so sweet betwixt the rails of my real Henry '27. I appreciate you donating your money to the cause,
Just FYI - the GT-40P heads were designed specifically for the Explorer & the exhaust ports are slightly higher on the head (slightly different port shape too, but that can be easily remedied with a die grinder ) This causes some problems when putting them in earlier cars (specifically) as the entire header is raised up enough to cause interference problems... Having said all of that - they're one of the best stock SBF heads out there & they're reasonbly priced.
If RACEFAB & Ryan agree, I will donate a comletely rebuilt******* & torque convertor of their choice for this project.Automatic O/D, C6, C4 or whatever.I will deliver it to the HAMB drags as well. RACEFAB or Ryan, please get in touch. Lets keep this at the top!! DAVE

Ryan is going to set that up when he gets back from holiday. we wanted to be sure of the specs on the motor before we put it up.
