You can’t find this info anywhere...at least not easily. Great work!
GT40 intake just looks so good too,My 94 gt had a cobra intake too.
I love the info! I’m buying that book right now! Thanks
Love the series keep it up!
I got a chance to pick up a 96 explorer gt40 intake in Southern Cali on a 40% off sale for 23 bucks clean too what a deal haha, thanks for the info man
Awesome video GTC. A+ material right here. Keep up the good work! I don't own an SN95, but I subbed anyways. =)
Excellent video!
Great info!! Thank you. This def solidified the Explorer intake purchase I am about to make tomorrow lmao
Glad it was helpful!
Great video very informative.
Great video
I had stock explorer intakes on my 89LX back in 2000 and they def helped over the stock one. Car was mildly modified. B cam, ported stock heads, exhaust, gears, etc... I swapped the just the upper over to a 93 Lightning GT40 upper. No other changes. And noticed a HUGE improvement in power and RPM. Breathed ALOT better!! I'm still running the explorer lower/ lightning upper and TB today but ported and it's on a 308cid with a comp cam XE274HR cam and 192cc Canfields.
have the tubular gt40 on my 95 mustang looks clean and performs well
Thank you , great info
Good info thanks i have a 94 gt and looking to work on more hp
I have a deep forest green 1995 GT. Very clean car
I love this channel lol
Good info
I picked up a 96 Explorer GT40 to go in my Comet, my profile pic car.
Initially I was going to go back with a carb setup after swapping in a healthy cam. I changed my mind and decided to go with EFI as most of the parts are already on the engine when I got it.
Now I'm back and forth depending on what day of the week. The GT40 should have better low RPM torque than an Edelbrock RPM, but the RPM should have better top end and if I do swap on a set of AFR heads the Explorer/GT40 intake would be my limiting factor.
I guess as all things I'll finally decide how I'll put the car together like the actual *day* of we complete the engine. lol
There is something to be said for my current config though, Autolite 4100, Performer intake, longtubes, duals and an AOD. 24 mpg out of a 1974 302 in a Mercury Comet.
I should at least be able to match that with the new engine regardless of carb or EFI, however, with EFI my city won't drop to 12 mpg.
Prefer the kenne bell manifold myself. But good to know if I ever switch to turbo instead of blower.
Love my cobra intake on my 89!
Very cool, they do look right at home underhood! Thanks for watching and commenting. - Darren
I’m debating on a trick flow or elderbrock .... can you tell me what your opinion is? Thanks
Can you do a vid on what valve covers we can use on a sn95 with stud mounted roller rockers. There is not much out there.
I think the 93 Cobra style is the best, but that's probably because I have a 93 Cobra.
Im starting to refurbish my 1994 convertible gt. Can you share a pdf of a repair manual?
How much difference from the Fox intake ??
More sn95 content
Well guess I know what I’m doing as far as an upper and lower intake. I am going to see if they will let me bring the upper and lower into my work and sand blast them. Then I will powder coat it maybe. Also I may pick up some explorer heads too and machine them at work if they let me. All of this is if they allow me. The sand blast they probably will, but the machining part probably not :(
Are you in the Chicago area?
I just wish you would’ve added what the actual bone stock one was like compared to the other 3 to note if it was actually worth changing
That exact data is a little more tricky to pin down, but let me research that and look for the results in a later video. - Darren
mustangeric13: The bone stock intake, much like the stock heads, is completely terrible. Case closed. I put a Trick Flow intake on my 1990 Gt when it still had stock heads. Made a big difference.
I have seen a 27 hp gain with explorer manifold on a completely stock engine stock E7 heads with only BBK headers also stock cam
Jarrod Edelen If the intake and headers were done at the same time then your claim MIGHT sound plausible but is very unlikely but 27hp from just an intake swap is not happening..
There may have been something wrong with his original setup.
Also, he'd already done headers, but if the intake is the restriction then that's all she'll do. The intake swap removed the intake restriction and allowed the headers to actually do their job.
I just put on an explorer intake ported by tmoss. combined with trickflow heads and e303 cam, car has tons of torque. great video, im glad I picked up the explorer intake, it was only $150 for it, pus another$ 200 for porting. worth every penny.
how were you able to pay only $200 for porting?
LightUpTheSkyZ Tmoss does his porting out of his garage and he doesn’t rip people off so his pricing is very reasonable
Vrm you can run any cam in an sd car you just need a good tuner to mess with it
Tmoss is a decent porter but I went with Bigdogsporting he charges more but flows more too
Am I the only one that never liked the GT40 intake? I'd get an exploder intake any day over a GT40 even if i found them.for the same price (I'd probably sell the GT40). Exploder intake, shorten the runners 1 3/4" and make an extra 20hp more than if it was left stock then port and.polish it for even more power
the amount of work you went through to create this video is impressive! Gained a subscriber keep it up man:) my 83 four eye foxbody is going under the knife soon and ive been exploring the sniper efi.......check out the channel!
Thanks for the supportive comment and for subscribing, GTC has added your channel to our subs in return! - Darren
Appreciate it man! I’ll continue to tune in
I’ve got a question, I’ve been chasing down a pinging issue at 3500-4000 rpm at open throttle and goes away at half throttle. Timing is at 10 degrees and running 93 octane. Stock engine with a 65mm throttle and kn filter stock air box. My only idea would be the ecu changing timing. Any ideas? Mileage is about 140000
5 spd
1995 gt
Bump up the timing to 14 and it'll go away. If it's stock you don't need 93 octane. Try 89 or 91.
Mac Willer if he’s pining at 10 degrees why on earth would you advise more timing??
Bigg Squid I would venture to say your valves and pistons are dirty..try running a full seafoam treatment through it and it should clear all that up
Good luck trying to find the cobra or SVT upper. Explorer is dime a dozen at junkyard
There are a surprising number of GT40 tubulars in circulation, they come up for sale weekly, the trick for me is finding just a lone upper for less than $750. Thanks for watching and commenting! - Darren
@@GrandTouringConcepts $750? That’s what the upper alone goes for? Shit eBay here I come I don’t mind selling mine.
i have a gt40 manifold layin around
If you would like, send some photos to darren5.0l@shaw.ca
i will take some photos tom.
for some reason wont let me send photos to that email adress
Try darren5.4l@shaw.ca
I have a question I have a 98 explorer intake that has internal egr do I need to block off with egr delete plate between intake and elbow adapter any help would be appreciated thanks
If you plan on deleting the egr then you can go ahead and block it off
I know this is old but I am new to the 5.0 game. It may not be relevant to mustang guys, but I have been told many times the 5.0 truck is better than the mustang. Can anyone point me to any data to determine if that is true? I have a truck - so i don’t want to chase something if what I have is already a better option.
It's bit of a confused myth, let me shed some light.
The truck lower manifold flows a little better than the Mustang, but the longer runner length of the truck upper manifold develops torque in a lower rev range.
The Mustang upper has shorter runners which promote better high rpm (if you consider 5200-6000 high) power vs the truck.
Of course the truck lower is non-intechangeable with a Mustang due to port shape and layout so its a bit of a moot point about the lower manifold flow.
Basically use the car one (or an aftermarket piece) for sport performance applications and stick with the truck manifold for work duty.
Thanks for watching and commenting! - Darren
Grand Touring Concepts thank you for taking the time! Appreciate the insight...I will take it into consideration. Best of luck.
You want to display a gt40 intake. Why take it out of use?
Basically its a matter of the GT40 intake doesn't support big power, while cast Cobra and Explorer pieces can be ported for quite a bit higher power ceiling. There are quite a few GT40 uppers being traded around in the collector market, while the bog standard junkyard Explorer gives the same performance to most of the budget minded folks. The GT40 is a visual stunner, but is a handicap to anyone building anything that isn't a nostalgia/retro engine. That's why I would choose to display one. Thanks for watching and commenting! - Darren
@@GrandTouringConcepts You are a nice dude, but it still saddens me to see one sit dormant.
one for the wall hahahahahhaha
I actually aquired one for just a pupose a couple months ago. Needs resto but it was very affordable. - Thanks for watching and commenting! - Darren
Excellent video!!
Great video!
