I'm collecting parts for my headswap. I already have complete 2000 GT heads, cam covers, PI intake, frpp head changing kit, front cover bolts. My question is will the dip stick tube that came with the head changing kit work? In the article on Bossracing it lists the head changing kit and the xr3z-6754-ba dip stick tube. The only tag or number on the one I have says sn95 2v. Also I know I need the alt bracket, heater tube, hose outlet, intake gaskets, and 3 different front cover gaskets. Am I forgetting anything? The oil galley plugs should swap over, but what about cams bolts or something. I have read the most popular articles about this: http://www.bossracing.net/Tech Articles/PI Headswap/PI Head Swap page2.htm and:http://www.eccentrix.com/members/46mustang/

the dipstick tube doesn't work. the one in the kit is for romeo. I ordered the flexible tube from Lokar. Sumit has it in stock for @$40 and if you ever have done one of these headswaps you'll know this Dipstick is worth every penny!!!

Heres the part # from Summit (can't direct link for some reason)

Thanks for the tip, but I'm pulling the motor anyway so it should be easy.
