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-’04
The F75E blocks that were used from ’99-’04 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 ’99, in the Mustang in ’00, and in the F150 Supercrew, four door pickups from ’01 through ’04.


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,
