Cams the mileage doesn't matter as long as the journals are not scratched.
I NEVER trust a used PI intake anymore. They crack at the rear water heater hose outlet and Ford only saw fit to fix this on the NPI with a brass insert, the PI is still all plastic here. Get a new PI intake from Summit for ~$200 shipped IMHO.

i have a nice set of pi cams in awsome shape from an 02gt w/32k miles on them i'll sell them for $100. i bought the complete set of 02 headsand had them redone with comp cams 270's and bee hive springs and they are romeo heads. when i had sent the heads out to be done the guy told me that the pi cams were in great shape. if your interested let me know.

Use the spacers and gears from the NPI cams in your car. The spacers go behind the cam gears. The cam bolts are different but you can buy those from the dealer if your cams don't have them. However my PI cams came with the bolts. That is what I did and it worked fine. Final word; get a tune after installing the PI parts and it will run MUCH better.
In the future please PM this info as there are no sales in the forums. Thanks...
To the OP...I found some very low mileage Comp 262's for 350 a few years back. Check around and see if you can find something like that. A little better bang for the buck (u may find cheaper) since you are breaking into the valve covers anyway.

Yea, I saw a set of Comp 262AH's go for $175 a couple of weeks ago on Ebay. You have no idea how hard it was for me to resist getting them and throwing them in with my supercharger.
I just called the ford dealer for the cam bolts, and im like "yea i need them for a 2002 GT" he's like what size engine is in it? I said its a GT a v8 hes like oh so would it be a 4.6 then, im like oh man who hired this guy, and i asked him for a clutch kit for a 97 GT, the guy is like sir is that a dual overhead cam? hahaha, oh great now he just transfered me to a line in a back room somwhere that nodbody ever goes too. Great 300 dollars for an oem flywheel 175 for the clutch disk and 260 for a flex plate and 120 for a throwout bearing. Hmm Great Deal, at least they have those bolts for 5 dollars each. DEalers suck
I've had similar issues with parts guys. It seems dealerships are the worst since they are full of "know-it-alls" for that brand of vehicle. I've had to school a couple. Take your cams in to test-fit the cam bolts. The aftermarket cams may be ok but they may require new valve springs which would add to the PITA factor. I prefer factory components as much as possible and the PI valve springs are the same as the NPI valve springs so your PI cam will work out fine.
