I could be wrong but I always thought 99 and up GT's had 8 bolt flywheels, not just the windsors.

Edit..Looks like I'm wrong, just checked, 99-00 windsors only from what I can tell.

Is the oil fill on the passenger or drivers? Also if you ever have the intake off, you should be able to see a W in the valley on either the block or the heads (i cant remember which) if its a windsor.

I believe the romeos and windsors also had a different number of valve cover bolts. Also I think the cam gears were different between the two. Some were press on, the others were bolt on.

'99 to early 2000 GT's had an 8-bolt crank...Drivers-side of block has a big W cast into it, designatinig a "Windsor" and the 8-bolt crank. Some other differences in the engines too I think. Takes the same flywheel as the Cobra Crank (all zero balanced).
