14 bolt valve covers on windosr heads?

Boostang · February 27th, 2009, 02:05 PM

im just wandering if anyone knew if 14 bolt valve covers off of a Expedition with windsor heads would fit 13 bolt mustang windsor heads?

A windsor head is a windsor head.

So yes.

The 99/00 Mustang motors are truck motors...just put them in mustangs in those years. hence the 8 bolt cranks.

Well, maybe its just me, but i dont think it would... 14 bolt pattern will be different the 13 bolt pattern..

not goin to work,it will be a different bolt pattern

NeverEnuff · February 27th, 2009, 03:02 PM

Really. lol.

SO when I got my heads off a 2001 HD truck (Harley Davidson) and used my stock 13/14 bolt windsor valve covers...it didn't work? Hmm. You guys do know that the heads can be swapped side to side and they are exactly the same heads left to right, just have to swap over plugs, and the valve covers are different side to side because a bolt hole isn't used on one side...hence 13bolt and 14 bolt?

Now if he is asking about using a 13 bolt valve cover on the wrong side...then no, But if indeed he is asking if TRUCK/SUV 2V WINDSOR heads will work on his WINDSOR valve covers. Then yes. I did it...and so have many others.

There are only 2 style of heads out there for PI motors...Romeo and Windsor...and a PI head is a PI head, just like a Romeo head is a Romeo head minus the PI vs NPI, but NPI covers will go on PI heads and vise-versa.

ive been told that it woould work?!?

NeverEnuff · February 27th, 2009, 03:08 PM

IT will. LIke I said. A windsor head is a windsor head. The way the valve covers work is one side only uses 13 of the possible 14 bolts.

Boostang · February 27th, 2009, 03:09 PM

NeverEnuff · February 27th, 2009, 03:12 PM

It will physically fit. But as far as the PCV location, that may be different. Might want to look into that...
