Alright, need a lil' help here. I got a Romeo (96-98) 4.6 block and I wanna slap some heads/cams on that bad boy. BUUUT, I do not know if I can change my heads out without removing the engine. I have seen people do head swaps on the 4.6 before and they have removed the engine. Is this necessary? Also, if I can't do that... what about cams? I'd imagine since they just rest under the valve covers, that there would not be a problem swaping those out without having to remove the engine or anything too time consuming like that. Any input would be appreciated.<br />THANK YOU! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>st5150</b> <br /><small>Member # 51</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,27,23,38,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I don't see why you would go through the hassle of swapping out just the cams with out getting better flowing heads under your hood. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>J's 4AXLR8N</b> <br /><small>Member # 2011</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,27,23,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I doubt that you have to remove the whole engine.
