you should have 6 bolt, but you also have a windsor engine so you may have 8.. i'm thinking 6 tho, what's the inquiry for anyways?

you should have a 6 bolt fly wheel, to my knowledge its the 99-04 cobra 4v motor that have the 8 bolt flywheel, and i am pretty sure that the 302 windsor was eliminated in the gt's in 95 and in 96 is when they went to the 2v modular v8, not 100% so dont quote me on that... lol

only thing i'll quote you on is that the 99-04 cobras had an 8 bolt, but a no 302 is a windsor, they only made windsors in 351's, but in 99-01 the 4.6 mod's were windsor motors also, and a few of them came with 8 bolt cranks

Take a gander at your valve cover bolts.

If you have 11, it's a Romeo block and has a 6 bolt crank

If you have 13, it's a Windsor block and has an 8 bolt crank

Don't go off of the Vin #
It's not always accurate.

the windsor motor also was a 302, on top of putting them in the mustang for years they put them in the 1968 mercury cougar so i know that the windsor was a 302. but i thought that they stoped putting them in mustangs in 96.

What? no 2v came with a 8 blot crank, all the cobras from 96-04 had 8 bolts.

The 99, 00, and early 01 2v models came with a 8 bolt crank, the 01 1/2-04 cars came with the 6 bolt.

If he has a 99, he has a 8 bolt crank.

i'd need full out proof to believe that, from all my experiences only a 351 was a windsor[>:]
