RE: Difference between Romeo and Windsor??
Different manufacturing plants, they did a few things differently. Press on cam gears vs bolt on, different number of bolts in the valve covers, etc. 1999 and 2000 are Windsor, before and after are Romeo.

RE: Difference between Romeo and Windsor??
They're the factories where the motors were assembled. The rotating assemblys are virtually identical, though I was readingup on slight differences in the rods betweenthe two plants. Windsor motors have 8 bolt cranks, 13 bolt valve covers,individual cam "main" capsand press on cam gears. Romeo motors have 6 bolt cranks, 11 bolt valve covers, bolt on camgearsand cam girldles. They both perform the same. The key is getting matching heads and valve covers and a matching crank/flywheel combo.
