Default Do 98 GTs have press on or bolt on cams?

I just bought some PI cams for my 98 GT and they are bolt on. The guy I bought from said mine might be press on and I would need another part to make it work. Anyone know? Thanks

windsors have a big W printed on the block somewhere, also i think they have a 13 or 14 bolt valve cover when the romeos only have 11, but any stock 99-00 GT has the windsor block
