Nvm i think im starting to you need the gaskets instead of buying it all seperate can i just use this kit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CYLIN...Q5fAccessories
Then all i would need is the heads,cams,intake if I have that kit and the intake was already tapped right?

patriot is a brand of head. Romeo is a casting style that ford designed. Windsor is the other casting style. Patriot will use one of these two casting styles.

That kit is what you would need if you are swapping the heads cam and intake. Depending on mileage, you may want to look at a kit for the tensioners, chains and guides.

Well, with all stage 2 cams (except HiTech) you're going to have to upgrade valve springs. Unless you're getting the Patriots and then they come with them.
