OK I'm sure this has been covered a million times so I'm sorry but I have some questions.
I have been in talks with a guy on corral about buying his PI swap stuff. I have a 96 GT so it's a Romeo engine. He says his stuff came off a 02 Crown vic sport and that it's a Romeo as well. I have looked over some swap info on here and I wanna make sure I'm figuring all this stuff right and getting all the right stuff.
I know I will need new headgaskets. I seen these listed in a thread on here so was gonna go with them http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-6067-D46/
I also know I will need a new timing chain cover gasket set but there is a couple different ones. Can anyone tell me which one I need?
I know I will need new valve cover gaskets, intake gaskets, water pump O ring, and thermostat o ring
I have read about needing to swap cam gears and valve covers but I shouldn't have to do that correct?
Another thing that confuses me is all this talk of needing a new alt bracket. My intake had the alum crossover and I didn't see where that stupid bracket even bolted to the alt. My alt bolted to the engine.
I believe I will need a new coolant pipe that goes into the valley and new nipple. Any idea what they cost?
I also read something about a crankshaft seal?
Am I missing anything? Trying to figure out a cost estimate cause my other option is not doing the swap at all. However when I bought the car the PO told me it had a slight oil leak that was not fixed by changing the VC gasket so I'm thinking it might be the headgasket anyway so I'm torn
