    Are there GT40 headers that fit Mavs and Comets?

    GT40 has oddball spark plugs angles or something, been too long since I fooled with it.

    Part nos.

    The part number is just GT40-p stamped right in the head, under the valve cover like normal. Made them '97(?) to end(?) of 302. Used on explorers. They'll bolt onto your 302. What I've read, looks like the Weiand Stealth may be the best intake, but various good ones, Performer is on the bottom end of the list.
    If you haven't been to the Windsor Family of engines site, you should. I'll post the link.
    Whoops, you said gt40's, which are different than p's, and not quite as good, the early version, early still being the 90's. They are the ones with y303 in the part number. Site below still applies, search gt40 and/or gt40p and you'll get good info.

    Headers are taking a little creativity it seems but being done. Unless you happen to have a set of 87 Blackjacks I guess. (other gt40p thread)
