As far as I know, the '93 Cobra has the true GT40 Iron head that is a direct bolt in. They can usually be had for under $500 on ebay. The Explorers had GT40-P heads that require a different exhaust manifold than what the mustang usually had. They are cheaper initially, but once you factor in the extra $$$ for new headers, they end up being about the same. The other alternative is to have your stock heads ported and polished and have some good springs installed.

The 93 cobra's would be the way to go. Sometimes you can also find some good used GT-40 Y or X aluminum heads cheap on ebay.
