[QUOTE="BrandoGT, post: 491872, member: 9963"] I forgot, but I believe 2000 is still a windsor motor, right? If so you need a few different things. I know it may be overlooked but you need different studs for the timing cover where they bolt into the new heads, because the threaded holes are larger on windsor heads then the romeo heads. When i did the swap with some windsor heads, I didn't need to get a new timing cover, I was able to reuse my old one and it works fine. I have heard that you need to put a new crankshaft gasket in the timing cover otherwise it will leak oil out of there. Also you are supposed to have a new crankshaft pulley bolt because those are torque-to-yield so they cannot be reused. although this isn't required I would reccomend the lokar flexible dipstick, it will make life much easier. I know there is more stuff I am forgeting but those were a few things that stuck out in my mind that weren't already covered. the best thing you could do is go over to modulardepot and talk to randy, tell him what you got and he will get you everything you need to complete the swap. he is deffinately very helpful.
