yes, different valve covers needed,
Romeo and Windsor are 2 diff designs. Romeo has separate bolts and grommets and a normal looking rubber gasket. The Windsor covers have grommets that attach to the bolts and they also have a diff gasket that wraps around each bolt. Cant mix and match the two.[/align]

Yes, 96-98 is romeo and I think 99-mid 01 is windsor, then last 01-04 is romeo. Either way a windsor style head will work on a romeo block. The differences are that the windsor have 13/14 bolt valve covers and have bigger bolt holes that the timing case cover bolts to. They also have bolt on cam gears.

Romeos have bolt on cam gears. Windsors are pressed on.

My bad, I couldnt remember if I used the cam gear from my npi heads or the pi heads. I guess it was the npi's.

windsors will fit but it will need some new bolts and valve covers and maybe a couple of other little things. If you can try and get a romeo PI head to make things go a bit smoother.

Romeo Blocks have 11 bolt valve covers, Windsor Blocks have 13 bolt valve covers. I have a 2002 GT with a vin X Romeo engine.
