Well I picked my first entire Romeo PI motor with intake, heads/cams and block for 175. Hell yea right? Nope. Those cam journals were scorn and burnt up beyond repair. PI paperweights.
so I was at the local mustang yard today and saw a set of pi heads sitting there. Grabbed them for 150 buck. They are super clean like they were redone then never used. Well I didn't know prior to tonight's research that windsor heads have individual cam caps instead of the cage. Looked up the casting number and sure enought they're windsors and my valve covers won't line up. I have an extra front cover that fits the bolts that go into the front of the windsor heads just by chance. If it were a Romeo front cover they wouldn't fit through right? Well anyway my questions are: Should I just drill out my non pi 98 front cover or go through the trouble of the different acc drive setup? I have a set of Romeo cams with bolt on gears...can't I just drop them in to get rid of the press on style?
What vehicle do I get the correct valve covers from? 99-00 gt? And are there any other differences performance wise and their flow compared to Romeo? Also anything else I may need to know to make these work right...
ive vey got no luck with pi heads..
