I came across a 01 F150 engine with the bottom end blown. pulled the heads and they are good.
Are the heads and cams good for the PI swap since these are from a truck?

 

[nickmckinney]

Yes.

However - remove the rockers and see if the cams spin freely, from my experience its a 50/50 chance they won't. Usually these motors run low on oil and gouge the cam bores.

 

[SUMBIRD]

Sweet. The heads were free, I'll pull the finger followers and check.
thanks.

Didi you pull the valve covers? If not you need to find some windsor valve covers to go with those heads.

Yes I kept the valve covers.

front cover bolts

Windsor heads also have larger diameter bolts so you need thoe from the truck engine as well.
