There is a deal on some Romeo heads on craigslist in my area. They are Romeo PI heads off of a 2001 GT.
I am thinking about putting them on my '99 GT, after they are ported and a put a aftermarket cams in it. I have a couple questions,
What is needed for the swap, I know heads, valve covers, timing cover(just the bolts), dipstick tube and what else?
Does the intake or manifolds need to be modified in any way?
What do I need to look for on the head itself to assure me that it is a PI head and not a NPI or Windsor one?
About what should a speed shop charge to clean it up, port it and install the cams, then have it installed onto the car and tune it?
I of course will do a compression test before I spend the money on this because I am afraid that the cylinder that suffered the blown plug may be damaged or something, although I haven't seen any indicators of that (driveability or oil consumption or gas mileage).
