[FHP0827]

Had an idea as far as the intake goes: one option would be to replace the upper with an Explorer cast aluminum one (assuming you have the tubular GT-40 one now). You can use the stock 5.0 HO intake plaque on it and it would almost look stock. The bonus there (speaking of funds) is that those tubular GT-40 uppers go for a fortune on Ebay. Another option would be to find a stock upper and lower and just sell the GT-40 complete. As far as the heads go, you could look for a set of E7's with low miles and go back totally stock, but of course if you have the original cast iron GT40 heads that take stock headers, no one would ever know they weren't stock by looking at them.
