    What's wrong with what it came with?  They work fine and are quiet too.  Stock heads, stock bore and stroke, mild cam.  Stock valve gear will work fine.

    I agree with Bullet

    RockAuto if your stockers are missing.
    I have some but hoarding for engine build.  If I find an extra set, you can have them

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    stockers are missing should I just order for a explorer or should I get for like a 90 GT?

    I may have pushrods and rockers sitting on the shelf.  Let me look and see.  I'll PM you if I find a set.

    If you go aftermarket I'd suggest the Crane Energizer rockers.  They were OEM on the '93-'95 Cobra engines, which also had GT40 heads.

    Order them for an Explorer so they match the valve tip length of the GT40P heads you are using, BUT, I think they are the same as the 5.0 HO GT engine.
    Just check and compare part numbers of the two different engines, then post the results so all of us will know.

    Re: I am needing some rockers and push rods...

    The rockers will be good but you may need to use something other than stock length push rods to achieve proper valve train geometry with an aftermarket cam.
