I have a question, now I know there is a vareity of ways to acheive this, but using the stock long block what is needed to make 350-385 HP form an explorer motor? is it possible to do this with just intake and cam choices? I basically inerested in a streetable engine and was curious how much power the gt-40s an P heads could make before porting?

nitrous oxide?
Junk the heads, cam. Around that level the 19lb'ers would be maxed,so new injectors,plus mass air meter,not to mention the fuel pump wouldn't be able to keep up too. The intake could also start being a restriction at that point,so a new intake,holley or edlebrock. Atleast 1' 5/8'' headers,full 2.5'' exhaust. Best bet is to do a stroker if you want an easy all motor 385 hp.

350-385hp will take a little more than that ^^^

It would be nice if that was an EFI setup. I would consider it with the 351 Im going to build.Originally posted by Pesty351 View Post"Shakedown"- 1991 Grand Marquis GS Dual exhaust, Magnaflow xl turbos, Rear anti sway bar, Outlaw 1 wheels, 43k miles

Some trick flow 190cc fast as cast twisted wedge heads, 1.7 roller rockers, efi super vic intake, medium or tall elbow your choice, a 90mm throttle body, and a custom grind cam specific for your setup.
proper headers and exhaust also I forgot about that

O.K. so 300 is about all youd get out of an explorer motor without touching the heads? and i'm thinking carbed anyhow, reason I'm asking is the FRPP engine part num M-6007-X302 has the alminum GT-40s and an E-cam rated at 340hp-310 ft lbs, now I'm sure these heads flow better than the cast iron ones not sure how mauch,but being as I have heard the Ford cams are outdated compared to some other cams I thought it may be possible the acheive this kind of power at least from a ironheaded unit? what say you? that cam isn't to radical?Comment

Yep, that's about it, unless you hit up a custom cam grinder (one that doesn't insult first, and ask questions later) for advice on which cam to use. The other problem with the P heads is that they don't respond too well to porting, so you're kind of stuck with a 300-ish motor unless you resort to supercharging/turbo schtuff.Originally posted by 89crownlx View PostComment

from what info i have gathered the E cam is not a good cam for our cars, ive looked into it for the truck forums and most of them say the e cam is suckakaOriginally posted by 89crownlx View Post89 townie, mild exhuast up grades, soon to have loud ass stereo....Comment

There are certainly much better cams out there.Comment

Right, I know there are what I'm saying is they get 340 hp out of their engine with that cam, so those heads are worth 40 more horse over the Iron gt-40s, but with a much better cam one should get closer to that power right? do you guys think?Originally posted by Jonathan View PostComment
