Where did you get info in your post from? Just curious because I want to confirm when Windsor engines were used in Mustangs.

I do have the Cobra crank, heads, chain cover, intake... The block is all that I'm concerned with.

Found some more info..

Windsor Blocks

1999-ÔÇÖ04
The F75E blocks that were used from ÔÇÖ99-ÔÇÖ04 were identical to the original F75E castings except that they had an 8.0mm hole for the new knock sensor. The Windsor motor was used in the pickups along with the Mustang and the Expedition in ÔÇÖ99, in the Mustang in ÔÇÖ00, and in the F150 Supercrew, four door pickups from ÔÇÖ01 through ÔÇÖ04.


Seems I can't really get a straight answer from web sources until refrencing the Sean Hyland book. Hyland says that when supply for Mustang engines were low, blocks were sourced from the Windsor plant.

Take a look at this thread,

I have helped pull engines and done work on every year mod motor mustang you can imagine ( no 5.o yet) go to a car gathering and count valve cover bolts you will notice the difference in the 99-01 cars, once in a while people will have Windsor heads on a Romeo block or vice versa due to PI swaps or just the cores they pulled for port work.
