PI Swap to Windsor heads couple Q???

[Tornbetween2]

Ok i have my heads and the covers. Also the pi intake.

So i am looking to get everything else. i looked at modular depot for the head changing kit.

Do i need a alternator bracket if i DO NOT have the aluminuim crossover?

What is the coolant nipple i need?

And What is the upper plenom O-ring i need?

Why would the intake gaskets be differant part numbers on the windsor then the remeo and which come in the modular depot kit.

And the same Question on the head bolts?

Also where can i find a set of cometic gaskets and how much are they?

1. I never used a different alternator bracket, even with an alluminum crossover, just one less bolt. That's up to you, but you can do it short term if it turns out you do need the bracket.

2. The nipple is a fitting that goes into the back of the water pump, you will need one for a 99-up car. Or do what I did, cut the hardline and use heater hose, been like that for 2 year's, no issues.

3. The upper plenum O-ring is a gasket that goes in the top of the intake, you should have one in your intake already.

4. I have no idea, as far as I know they are the same, where did you get that info?

5. See above

6. Summit and some Ebay vendors carry them, they are about 200 for a pair, but you don't need them to run boost. High compression and low boost is fine.

Alternator bracket Cool 1 less thing i need to buy.
Is there 2 bolt holes in the plastic intakes?

As far as the nipple i think i will buy for the amount of the cost isn't much.

I thought the gaskets were the same also until i seen the other day that someone had posted some part #'s and they were different.
Same as the head bolts. Different part #'s

and as for the head gaskets i am going to push about 8lb's to this so i was looking to lower the compression just a bit but for that price i dont think i will be doing it.
