not all 2 valve motors were the same, most of the mustangs and some crown vics got the romeo head motors



the romeo heads require different cam/valve covers than the windsors

I work for a salvage yard and it's been my expierience that rarely can you take a certain year windsor 4.6 and make it work in a different year. They are a pain in the a**, the Romeo motors are a little easier to work with, but not much. You also run into 6 and 8 bolt crank/flywheel pattern, 2 and 3 bolt starters on the earlier car motors. which motor do you have?
