Can a Winsor Block have Romeo Heads?

[Morgan Graves]

I have been having a hard time finding Windsor aftermarket heads. I have just been told I could put Romeo heads on a Windsor block. Can this be done?

Yep. There are subtle differences. Like you would need new valve covers and possibly a different pcv setup depending on the oil fill. But otherwise all you'd need is the usual head swap parts. cam gears are different I think tho too.

Cam gears are pressed on for Windsors and bolt on for Romeos. Romeo engines also use a different timing cover and the cams are held in differently on each head.

Burning Rubber, do the differences prevent me from swaping out heads to Romeo's?

to save yourself future headache I would recommend that you stick with windsor heads on a windsor block. our engines are easy to find from parts houses

They won't prevent you from doing it as long as you have the right parts.

I agree with evolucion though, it'd be much more simple to stick with Windsor heads and there are zero gains swapping to Romeos.
