hmm makes me wonder if one is stronger than the other. 99-00 had windsor wiwth the 8 bolt flywheel, 01-04 had the romeo with the 6 bolt flywheel

 

it does make you wonder but i doubt that it would that significant of a difference. like djb1187 said stock on stock...its a drivers race.

 

my v6 wants to knock a little when its runs shatty gas

any problems like that in the 9-04 GT's?

 

yeah the whole romeo windsor thing..god, like my freak of nature, 2002 with x vin, but a 6 bolt crank..go figure

 

i havent had any case of that happening. of course theres a first time for everything but no sign of it the 3 or 4 years ive had mine. ive been around to a lot of different gas stations so if it hasnt happened by now i doubt it will.

 

WTF I HAVE A 03 AND MINE IS A "X" WTF WTF?

 

i know its weird, ive acutally called ford motor sports, talked to 3 different people, asked repeaditly and they all say if your mustang has an x vin its a windsor, but i have a 6 bolt crank, ford f-ed up somthing because there is a serious gap in information on what the hell is going on

 

the romeo block was used from 96-99. in 00 the windsor plant began producing the 4.6. the windsor had a different block, 8 bolt fly, different heads and valve covers. the windsor plant originally made the 4.6 and 5.4 for the f-series. the two engines are interchangable as long as you use the external dressup accordingly. to truly tell the difference the windsors have a 'w' cast into the valley and under the timing cover. sorry for the confusion.
