Default Romeo VS Windsor, HELP ME dudes

I just got my heads in for my PI swap, but my valve covers don't match up.

I got a 98 GT so I believe that's Romeo. Besides the number of bolts how can I tell if the heads are windsor for sure? And if they are, does that mean I cannot mount them to my block?

I'm pullin my f'n hair out here

The same thing happened to me. what year model heads are they? if 99 or 2000 then they are windsor, they will still bolt to the block but you will need to get some factory 99-2000 valve covers or a set of bbk aluminum 13/14 bolt valve covers.

tell us how many bolt holes you have in your valve covers

windsor is 13 romeo is 11

if you do in fact have windsor heads and a romeo block, go ask Randy Stinchcomb in the ford parts section of modular depot what you'll need to bolt them on. It can be done.

Any heads from 96 to 04 will bolt right onto and block from 96 to04. You just need to get valve covers to match.

romeo heads have 11 bolts on each valve cover and the windsor valve covers have 13 bolts on one side and 14 on the other

Count the valve cover bolts. Easy stuff and Call Randy for your parts needs over on MD.

Of the cams have pressed on gears they are Winsor also.
