I also have herd that the FORD doesn't know. They can not even order a replacement engine for a warranty repair (car or truck) until they remove the old one cause' they don't know for sure if it's a 6 or 8 bolt crankshaft.
Crazy, *I* have only seen one head. I have Romeo engine (jack bolts, pressed piston pins) from a f150 and a Windsor from a 01 Mustang (bushed rods, pins instead of jack bolts) and both heads have the same heads & # of v/c bolts? guess Ford cleaned up the junk pile on my engines
