Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dr.Apex" data-source="post: 709563" data-attributes="member: 12622">I've been looking around for PI intake and heads and found a junkyard that has several 99-04 mustangs that have them. Pricing is 100 for each head and 45 for the intake, which is the best price I've been able to find.Now before I get into the questions that I want to ask, I just want to let you all know that I'm not interested in the PI cams as I plan on sending the heads to a shop to have them ported, as well as, buying aftermarket cams.I've done tons of reading up on the swap and feel that I'm more than capable of doing it, but there isn't much info on "shopping" for the parts. I'm a total noob, so I don't want to make a mistake by buying garbage. Here are the the things that I need your help on:1) How do I tell whether or not the heads/intake are good? What do I look for? Does mileage play a part?2) This junk yard is a pick and pull lot, so I'll have to remove the parts myself. Can someone give me a specific list of tools I will need to remove the intake/heads? (I don't want to make the 45min one way drive to realize I don't have a needed tool.3) Are the intakes in the 99-04's still made of plastic? I plan on getting the heads ported getting the intake portmatched to the heads but I'm not sure if thats possible with a plastic intake. Basically, if it's not possible with plastic (if they're plastic on 99-04), I'll just pass on it and buy an aftermarket intake.4) What "other" parts will I need to complete the swap? I've read about PI swaps that say you need a new coolant hose, gaskets, ect.That pretty much covers what I thinnk I need to know, for now. If you guys got anything else for me, that you feel I should know, please do tell.Thanks</blockquote>
