The flares aren't big enough, and the flanges aren't wide enough. That brings me to my NEXT point, once you go HO, you're going to have to change your entire exhaust. You can use the stockers from an HO car, but you're better off with a set of 1 5/8 shorties from the aftermarket. The intake that goes with the later GT40P heads doesn't use internal EGR, and some guys have trouble with the way the vacuum ports interact with tall HO valve covers (not required). I'd recommend a stock HO cam (necessary at minimum) 19# per hour injectors (also required, but it is not recommended to go larger unless you're willing to have to have the ECU tuned), E7 heads (I'd recommend 3 bar GT40 heads from 96-early 97 Explorer), and depending on your heads, either a HO upper intake and throttle body, or a complete upper and lower from 96 or early 97 Explorer (aftermarket 65mm EGR cooler and throttle body recommended unless you can fab). If you don't go crazy, you should be able to stay speed density with no need to convert to Mass Air. You WILL need a different EEC (Electronic Engine Control) for an HO engine as the firing order and by proxy, the injection order is different.
