Ok, i'm getting ready to do my PI head swap.
I got 99' heads complete for dirt cheap, so....
I wanna know if I get a 00' intake, will it fit correctly?
I know i'm going to have to buy new gaskets & bolts, but is there anything else i'm going to need? Anything I should know or watch for?

you can use the bolts of your old intake
but as far as head bolts you will need some

get some arp bolts from summit cant beat the price 40 bucks

you might want to pick up the timing chain cover gaskets

its 3 pieces

othere then that your all set

also I would recommend takeing the heads to a machine shop and have then pressure checked, just to be on the safe side

How much for timing chain cover gaskets?
So the 00' intake will go fine with the 99' heads?
Where's a god machine shop to get the heads checked around our area Javi?
How much will it run me?

Get ARP studs instead of bolts and you'll need new valve covers because you gonna use Windsor heads.
Great info here http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=282896&highlight=article
