I want to know my friend order a camshaft and a valve spring kit for a 99 gt, he order the same kit as his friend who own a 2002 i really dont know what brand it is but when i try to install is kit it seem to be not the same fitment as his friend with a 2002 who fit perfectly, it really doenst fit in ???

It is possible that the engine in 99 is not the same as in 2002 for the camshaft kit

Bad Saleen:

The PI heads are pretty much the same. Be aware that RH means the passenger's side and LH means the driver's side when under the hood of the Mustang. There are spacers just behind the sprockets, too. Some models have pressed on sprockets and you need to purchase the sprockets (and bolts and washers) for the aftermarket cams.

Hope this helps.

Does the cam tool, that keeps everything in place while replacing cams, work on 2002 GT? Also does the 2002 GT have the pressed on sprockets?

Thanks for the help

yes, they are different the 99-00 are windsor engines, 01+ are romeo engines, which have the press on's. not only will the kit not work but neither will the cam tool; on the 99 that is

Correction / Clarification:

99-00 = Windsor = PRESS ON Sprockets (Nay)

Mid 01-04 = Romeo = BOLT ON Sprockets (Yay)
