Can I swap a Romeo with a Windsor?
I have a 2001 F150 4x4 Supercrew that had a Romeo which is now dead. I have a lead on a nice Windsor that also came from a 2001 F150. Can anybody think of any issues I would have swapping in the Windsor? I have all the parts from the Romeo yet.
Thanks everyone!
Aaron

Sounds great. The Windsor engine comes with the cam covers, so no problem there. What about the flywheel? I thought I heard the two have different bolt patterns on the crank, but if the Windsor includes the flywheel it shouldn't matter, correct?

Just cuz I wanted to know for sure...
"The Windsor engine is a 90-degree small-block V8 from Ford Motor Company. It was introduced in 1962, replacing the old Ford Y-block engine. Though not all of the engines in this family were produced at the Windsor, Ontario engine plant "
This is in referance to the Romeos...
"The engines were first produced in Romeo, Michigan but additional capacity was added in Windsor, Ontario."
