[88 Lx 50]

is it worth putting 93 cobra heads on a stock 88 along with gt40 upper & lower and e303 cam??

 

[speedytang]

GT40 heads with a good intake usually see 40hp increase.

yea from wut i hear thats the best way to go but the thing is i got cobra heads for free and i dont have the $$ for the gt40's right now so i was wondering if i shud wait and save the money or just put it all together with the cobra heads

 

[Stangboy5666]

GT40 heads are what came on the 93 Cobra, but if you dont want em Ill buy em for $40.

 

[NoSlow5oh]

The gt40 heads and E303 cam came on the 93 cobra. The gt40 intake flows a little better than the cobra intake, so you would basically have cobra motor minus the rockers, throttle body, maf, injectors, etc.

i need some help one of my friends has a 93 cobra and he is selling me his engine but will it fit my 87 5.0.......


thanks

 

[Snake Pliskin]

Yes. Same displacement. 5.0 is 5.0 but the cobra motor is stronger.

 

[87gt5.0]

thanks men i am going to get then since he is selling it to me for cheap and it only has 67, 000 miles on it........

 

[jpwalke]

the cobrs did not come with a e303 cam

 

[jpwalke]

they had 1.7 instead of 1.6 rockers

now will you need different headers to bolt up to the gt40 heads or are they the same bolt patten as stock heads

 

[Greg B]

Cobra's used the same header as 86-93 5.0L HO.

i think it maybe the gt40p heads that u need different headers cuz the spark plug is in the way?????

 

[usmcwombat]

The GT40P heads do present a problem because of the spark plug angle, especially if you are running long tubes. MAC long tube headers bolt up but you may have modify (cut in half) a half inch drive spark plug socket. Its all good though.:bigthumbsup

100% worth the upgrade. i put cobra heads on my 88 with the 1.7 rockers and WOW seat of the pants dyno says WIN. traction has become a huge issue as the low end torque is wicked. :bigthumbsup

 

[usmcwombat]

Definitely worth it. Even with speed density and no tune, heads and intake will give you that seat of the pants thrill. With CAI, exhaust and gears I am leaving LT1 cars in my mirrors.
