i think they are different. The pacies have different order numbers so i would assume something is different.
so i would say, you will have to buy some more mate.

i was under the impression that they will be fine if you get the 90 deg spark plug boots, assuming they are the ph4000's we are on about, the AU extractors i was told would hit the firewall
i am not real smart with this car stuff but ohh well thats my 2 cents,

Did you get the text message jagga?
You can use them with 90deg boots and a "modified" plug socket to get at least one the plugs in and out....I mean if you going to get $1300 custom headers it is the perfect reason NOT to use 40P heads. Pete. |

for that sort of price you could almost get a new set of heads and the you'd be able to use your pace's and sell the gt40p's to recoop some of that cash.

Ouch, $1300 customs!!
That was a bit unexpected. I thought I had read of a few guys running P heads with off-the-shelf Pacey's in E-Series... 
The issue is the spark plug boot clearance, right? Any chance you can remove one of the Pacey's from wherever they are now to do a trial fit on the GT40P's (with spark plugs)? Could you post some pics? If we can save you from having to spend 1300 on customs, that money can go towards some other go faster parts instead....like a NOS kit or, higher stall converter or something

I was sure they do fit, hang on.....
http://www.fordmods.com/forums/viewtopi ... ht=#491330 Gunit18 has that combo so it seems they do. Do a search & I know there will be more examples. Spend that $1300 on something else.

Fit the extractors up against the GT40p heads and take snaps where clearance is tight against the spark plugs...if you can?
