Say WHAT?
There's a problem with the heads, so you need to pull the transmission? Stop to think about it for a second. The heads can be pulled without removing the engine.
I haven't heard of this problem, and 7 & 8 are usually not trouble cylinders... You would have to be running your stang real hard all day to have a problem with it I would think.

I was reading that there is a cooling problem on the 4.6 heads, causing 7 & 8 to over heat. It's a flow problem and can be resolved but they said you have to pull the trans to do it. I would post the link but it's on another board and I don't think that would be to cool.

I'll be doing it myself when the new engine is ready to go in.

1999 Cobra: Hypereutectic cast alloy shallow skirt with friction reducing coating on sliding surfaces
1999 GT: ???

Not really.
Cobras starting in '99 used flat topped forged pistons, the GT's used the Hypereutectic cast alloy shallow skirt with friction reducing coating on sliding surfaces. I know this because I just had to replace one of the pisons in my '00 GT
'99 GT's had SLIGHTLY less compression compared to '00, like a few tenths of a point difference.
