PI heads and intake
 

I just purchased Pi heads and intake off a 2000 GT!! Does anyone know how much a shop charges to do the swap? Should I go to the Ford dealership?

i hate takn my car to shops, i did it myself and took about a week and i think it added up to around 30-40 hrs of work. if u consider the job, this site is a great help http://www.bossracing.net/Tech%20Art...ap%20page1.htm

hmm what did you pay?

RE: PI heads and intake
 

I got a really good deal. $600 for the intake and heads. THey have about 18k miles on them from a 2000GT.

hey stone did you pull the engine or leave it in the car?

RE: PI heads and intake
 

i left it in, but i wuld def recomend to pull it, doing it in the car sucked!!

FYI you will need more than just the heads and intake to do the swap. You'll need new gaskets, a '99+ water hose, alternator bracket, oil dipstick tube, and new head bolts because Ford uses TTY bolts on the 4.6 engines. I may have overlooked a part or 2, but for the most part this is what you need.

One more thing, if you didn't get the valve covers with the heads I believe you will need new valve covers because the 2000 GT's have Windsor heads which aren't compatible with your '98 valve covers.

ok, hes pretty much right, but u dont need the alternator bracket, right now my car has no dipstick, im wondering if the ones on the newer models are easier to put in b/c mine has to run through the exhaust manifold. and yeah ur gonna need valve covers
