yes, the 5.0 heads from an explorer are gt-40P heads, they require a different set of exhaust manifolds as the exhaust ports are different but they will bolt right on. For the cost of the new manifolds, it usually ends up being more cost effective to pick up a set of legit GT40's or getting some port work done on the stockers.
