im looking at a set of gt40 heads on fordparts.com from a 1997 mountaineer for 240.18 would they be worth the money.

 

Worth the money but not worth buying. If you want a set of good heads, just hold out and buy a good set. The GT40's just won't give you what your looking for. Trick Flow, AFR.

 

im building a sleeper im looking for gt40s or gt40p. dont have the money to save up for afr or trickflow. a friend of mine told me about flotek 5.0x heads

 

People constantly give you advice on what to buy and you always choose the cheapest route. If you don't have the money to save for a good set of heads, then you don't have the money to put together the right combination of parts to do a GT40 based build any justice.

 

im going gt40 heads shorty headers tfs valve spring upgrade frpp hardened pushrods frpp lifters. i want to know if a tfs stage 1 will work with factory length pushrods and factory rockers

 

Honestly anything less than a set of gt40x heads is a waste. The trick flow stage 1 cam will work with stock length pushrods but honestly you're pissing in the wind. I went with Victor jr heads with tf 1 cam and it sounded fantastic but the car was still weak. Get on eBay and Craigslist and find a good used set of heads.

 

i can get gt40 heads locally for ridiculously cheap. i am also going to run tfs valve spring upgrade with the tfs stg1 can i keep my factory rockers

 

Might be something that you might want to look into.

You go and ask these very same question on the Corral and get the same answer of AFR's or Trick Flow 170's and you ignore the suggestions again..... lol. Why waste everyone's time with your posts? If your pinching pennies to build your car I don't put much hope in this "sleeper" status you hope to achieve.

 

Agreed, nice heads and if I were looking to do a simple rebuild I'd go for a set but anything more than that and I'd spend the money on a good set of heads.
