angle of plug and on the corner of the heads near the lower head bolt hole there will be a gtp in a stagger.

if it says gtp its a gt40 if it says gt well you know

so how much of a bitch is it to get the stock explorer headers off there? the intake manifold is already gone so that part of the job is done for me already! I am seriously thinking about getting these.

That,and besides what Qkjuiced said,the regular 40's have 3 bars on the end of the heads,the P's have 4.

i have a set of gt-40s off of a lightning truck if anyone is interested. I also have a brand new set of FMS shorty headers with jet hot coating on them

Accessory (A/C, alternator, etc.) brackets bolt to the heads...remove them too. Loosen the rocker-arm bolts; remove them and pushrods. Loosen and remove 10-headbolts from each head. Take heads off.

I think FMS makes a shorty stainless header to use the GT40P heads in a mustang. Years ago I used the FMS headers on my 95 Cobra with the stock GT40 heads, and they fit pretty well and seemed to be good quality.
