The best "Dime Rocket" combos!

Doug Hoven · 03-24-2020, 03:13 PM

A combo that may be competitive if it was in the guide would be a 2000 explorer with the 5.0. Factory rated at 215hp and 4,200 pound shipping weight puts it at 19.5. The gt40p heads are WAY better than any production small block ford head out of the box, and the intakes are very desirable among the 5.0 community. The camshaft lift may be low at .422/.448, but other small cam 302 combinations have made good power before. If anything it would be a good engine for GT.
