you can use ANY YEAR PI heads. Don't matter if they're 04 or 99.

They'll be hard to find in general in the Bammer though.

Do you guys have the valve covers too for them? The reason I was looking for the Windsor heads is because I have the Teem Breed valve covers for them...

How much are we talking about for either of you guys?

Ordering the tmd h beams today for engine. Working on a n/a intake. Basically the navi lower with custom boxed upper and port job. Hope to be finished with the intake before the engine builder finishes assym. And need to start on making my headers to I guess. I'm dying to get the extra cubes under the hood! And picked up a small fab job for local gym so maybe some more funds will find their way to me soon lol!

what year is the cobra pump for? I have a spare 03 cobra pump (just 1 though) that you can haz for free + 10 bucks to ship it if you're using a returnless system. If you're using return style then an Aeromotive is a great way to go even if it's hella big for most puropses.

you can make a returnless system return style with an aeromotive pump. the stock line becomes the return line and the aeromotive and new lines feeds the beast.


- whick BTW i have almost everything you need to do a aeromotive fuel setup on any year stang.....

was yours a returnless or return style system? would it be best to replace the sending lines with say -8an like ive got under the hood? pm me a list of whatcha got and we'll start talking; i miss driving the beast around.

if you get the aeromotive fitting that makes a -6 snap onto your factory hardline. you can run a -8 back to the tank or pump and you have return style system. but you hat won't work if it is returnless. but they make replacement ones also.

I have the covers but there damaged, mine are still on the motor i just pulled the motor from the truck a week ago and popped the covers off and the oil pan to check it out.A few years back the Pssenger side had blew out a Spark plug but was Repaired and has given me no more problems since.

If you need them just make me an offer idk what to ask for them really as i still don't know if i was going to sell them or keep them.

Weird im in FL and my 5.4 on the stand has the same issues

I sent you an SVT focus pump IIRC, green top right? That's for a returnless system. Won't work for you. You could use almost any 255lph in-tank pump for 94-97 mustangs.

Mine's returnless. If you're going to pop that much into the fuel system to put AN stuff in I recommend this kit . It's complete and comes with all the fittings which will otherwise drive you ******* crazy otherwise.

that's the fitting

I'd only run -6 back to the tank if he uses the stock hard line or even -8 braided feed lines. Return line should be smaller than your feed line generally.

i think im going the 4v route. i keep seeing navi motors for like $1200-1500 with minimal miles and it just seems like thats the way i should go. with the complete motor i can just use those heads, maybe new cams. i need the sullivan intake, possibly the 290 from australia. find a cheap wiring harness and i should be good to go correct? probably end up with forged internals also. i just feel like if im saving money i might as well get what i really want.
