So, what is the best (easiest) way of knowing if you have a Romeo or Windsor 4.8 2V? I am finding conflicting information. My car is a 1996. The VIN has an "X" as the eighth digit. From what I found on the LMR website, I take this to mean it has a Windsor motor. Is this correct?
Easiest way is counting the cam cover bolts. The Windsor’s have 13/14 bolts. The romeos have 11 I think. I don’t think the mustangs ever got Windsor npi engines.
Good to know. I am getting ready to start tearing down the top end for a cam swap, and I was worried that the cam gears might be the pressed on type (Windsor). Knowing it's a Romeo eliminates that worry.
Are you doing a teardown of the front too or just gonna slip them in? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Budget just doesn't allow the head swap. If I was going to go that route, I figure a couple hundred bucks for the heads, then the costs for a machine shop to do a clean up on the heads, head gaskets, bolts, and I am easily in for $600-$1000 just for the heads. I picked up a FRPP intake from PinkieT and a set of Bullet Cams for the NPI engine from OLD H2S. I am not sure what this will all add up to HP-wise, but I will have to be satisfied with this, cuz I got other things I want to spend money on.
