Thanks for the post and especially the thumbnail - seeing the numbers so close together made me feel pretty good about my Craigslist purchase of a Cobra intake. Now if I could just find a set of E Street Heads on CL for maybe $400 I'd be in business!
no problem,keep in mind the #'s shown in that pic are for showing how similar the 3 intakes are to each other when it comes to flow..you wont get 325hp just by putting that intake on a stock motor
good luck on the heads lol..you can find explorer gt40 or gt40p heads from anywhere between $200-$500 though

as for the heads/headers,depending on what year explorer,it could have either GT40 or GT40P heads..the GT40 heads DO NOT require any special headers,to ID them,they have "GT" stamped all over them
the GT40P heads have "GTP" stamped on them..they dont require "special" headers,per se,but they do require "certain" headers..BBK shortys have been known to fit,you have to use plug wires with 90* boots on the end
also:
Mac 1-5/8 longtubes w/90*plug wires
FRPP shorty's
Mac P specific shorty's
and BBK's longtubes have been said to work,with 90* wires,but i forget what size primary tube..either 1-5/8 or 1-3/4..

i got some pics in my gallery of my ported gtp heads and intake. intake is pretty easy to gasket match port,i did mine to 1250in./1415ex. fel-pro gaskets, heads are a little harder/time consuming, but the good news is ,,the material in the p-heads are alot better than e7's

Does anybody know how to get ahold of tmoss? I was wanting to talk to him about the explorer intake. Does it have shorter runners than the stock HO intake? Will it raise the rpm peak any? And what kind of cfm's does it flow?

Yes it will raise the peak rpm, usually in the 250-500 rpm area. They flow about 200-210 cfm in stock form. The combo of GT-40 heads, Cobra/GT-40/Explorer intake and stock cam makes peak power at 5400 rpms in most cases.
tmoss <mosstpsa@sbcglobal.net> I had him do my cobra lower. Great job and good guy ton deal with. I did cobra intake,tfs stage 1,afr165s. Going to have it dynoed in the morning.
Heads have different size exhaust valves. Different plug angle( for the P's) and supposedly the casting of the P's are slightly better. IIRC the combustion chamber CC is different also. I could be wrong though
