RE: pi swap question
By "valve pan covers", you mean valve covers? If you have romeo heads, you need romeo valve covers (11 bolt). If you have windsor heads, you will need windsor (13/14 bolt) valve covers. PI heads come in two different castings, non-pi don't.

RE: pi swap question
well i forget there was a whole tech forum about this so i read up on it, the heads the guy is selling is 01 heads, which is from a romeo motor from my knowledge, so i don't think ill need new valve covers, just need the head changing kit and heater hose. do i need anything else, i read about a "2nd ect sensor placing" what is that about, or is it a nessecary(sp) thing that has to be done?

You need a PI intake with an aluminum crossover. Make sure the crossover has a spot to drill the hole for the second temp sensor, I don't know if all of them do or not.. Take it to a machine shop and have it drilled and tapped.

RE: pi swap question
is this second temp sensor necessary? can i just move it somewhere else? i just want to do the swap myself so i don't have to pay the highass price of taking it to be done by a shop, unless it's cheap to just have the thing drilled and tapped alone.
