Has anyone heard of or seen any difference in the heads between the years? I have a '00 and I bought a set of '02 heads to swap on to my block. Is there anything that needs to be swapped or changed to make them operate correctly?

The truck was back together but it wouldn't start and seemed to have issues with timing etc so we thought it may be the timing chain was off a tooth, but it didn't turn out that way.

I'm wondering if there are any actual difference between the '00 and '02 heads......anyone know ?

I see you posted that question on NLOC. Sometimes it can be hard to get a question ansured over there. Good Luck!

They are identical. '99+ 4.6L including Mustang GT, F150 Truck and all '99+ 5.4L are the same. A P.I. (or Power Improved) heads are the same.

No difference from 99-02. I thought Speedoworks was an LS1 people. Did you have to sweet talk them to work on a Lightning? I think you are the first L motor they have had apart. Bankston is right up the road if all else fails. Are all sensors reading on the scna tool? Keep us informed.

Yeah, they specialize in Ls1's, Vettes etc but they have done a ton of work on Mustangs etc as well. I think we figured out the problem...we'll see tomorrow.


What's up with your motor?

Uuuuuhhhhhh, you must be crazy. Oh I found that missing fuel line safety ring that connects the lines rght behind the blower. Bankston said I didn't give them one, but I knew I wasn't crazy, cause Jim & Shawn found it down in my intake. That was one of the major reasons why my truck was screwed up. It made the rocker arm pop out of place. Anyways, Bankston is fixing to have a new owner........Blackwell Ford of Frisco.:flaming:
