Hi guys i have a 98 GT that im looking to do the PI swap on myself. I found a kit on ebay that looks to have everything included. Here is the link...
http://m.ebay.com/itm/FORD-MUSTANG-...%3A6bdbdc711590a787308234ddffc6e25e%7Ciid%3A1

My question to you guys is do you think that this is a good kit to buy? Will i need anything else for installation? Do i need to degree the cams since they are already in? Will everything basically just bolt up?
Im hoping to follow the write ups ive found for this swap and slowly work on it until im finished. Car is in the garage for the winter so I wont be rushed!
Thanks in advance for your help!

What does "good used heads" mean? I would not put unknown heads on without having them checked/rebuilt due to the cost and time to R/R if they are found wanting after install. For that price I would expect reconditioned heads, but that is me I guess.
Found this on another Forum:
PI Swap Parts List
Found this on the interwebz back in the day when I was looking at doing a head swap. Saved it on my computer and found it today..... please, feel free to add/change as needed!

While MPS auto salvage is a good and reputable place that you can catch some good deals on, that price was kind of high IMHO.
