[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1013395, member: 61136"] Dan, I have used the 1:72 roller rockers on a '94 stang cobra motor, stock cam. Good addition. Dont know what cam the Ex used. You may have to use 1:6 roller rockers dependending on the cam you use. You may need some shims for the roller rockers. I have a new set, still in the package, you can have for free. You may need them for proper pushrod set. If you want them send me an email, with your address. If you dont use them pay them forward, to some one else. I will never need them. Imo, for street service the spacer between the plenum and lower intake is useless. I have ran with and with out. On the GT40 intake design and the standard design. They are good for track use to keep the upper plenum cooler. When you use a bag of ice, on top between runs. If you do use a spacer. FYI, use the thick felpro gaskets and stick to the lowest torque settings. Retorque after warm up, if needed. I have seen too many of the rear left plenum ears break off. Especialy with the thin paper gaskets. Your right about the heads, GT40P. Iron version of the aluminums. I think the intake and plenum is the GT40 layout, depending on the year. The individual ports are more direct feed to the intake valves. Get rid of the oem headers also. Im probably telling what you know. If so, sorry. I have always liked the 5.0L push rod motor. So easy and cheap to build performance. Email me for the free rocker shims. I also have a bunch of used header bolts, free....... I wont be building another 5.0L....... [/QUOTE]
