What do i need?

[MustangJunkie]

My wifes cousin has a 99 GT and is replacing the motor and said i could have tha PI heads and intake off it is there any thing else i need to get off of the motor to make this work. also would like a list of new parts i have to buy to do the swap. thanks

just take the entire motor and drop it in.

I'm gonna take a wild guess here and assume that if his wife's cousin is swapping out the engine in his 99GT it's likely the engine is not in running condition! but I would ask for the entire engine if I were him and he would probably have a nice engine he could rebuild as he currently still drives his car :wink:

I want that timing cover!!!!!!!

 

[MustangJunkie]

yeah he said it threw a rod bearing, and he said he's probally gunna have to take 2 motors to make one, but i really dont have any idea whats wrong with it hell it's been sitting for bout a year or so

If it's free, grab it. The bearings are easy to replace and getting the crankshaft turned should not cost much. How many miles are on the motor? If it has allot, your best off to do rings and the oil pump and timing chains while you have it apart. If it has low miles on it then just get the crank turned and throw some bearings int and roll wit it..... :thumbsup:

he's not giving me the whole motor just the heads and intake

you need the heads/intake, head bolts (most people reuse them up to you), all gaskets, timing chains tensioners and guides, oil, coolant, PI coolant tube, PI alternator bracket.... cant think of anything else, but if you're pulling heads might as well do some shorty headers atleast....

water pump nipple i think is OK since you have a 98....

if you're getting the parts for free i'd send them to Nick @ modularheadshop and have them worked.

i suggest replacing your timing chains and chain tensioners while you are in there.

ok i have this writing down any thing else you think i need off of the motor to do this swap? I also seen in a book of kit that had the dipstick with it do i need to get the on off of the motor or is mine ok

 

[Lee12609]

keep your dipstick and tube.

Take the valve covers as well. The '99 is a Windsor whereas your '98 is a Romeo. There are some differences.
