I had a few questions myself, so I emailed Parkway, this was few weeks ago.

My email to Parkway:
"Is the headswap a complete kit for a 97 GT? I didn't see things like a dipstick or coolant tub in the description? Also, is it possible to get the kit with and 02 intake?"

The reply from Parkway:
"The kit is complete and includes those items and we do use the 02' Intakes with the aluminum coolant passage."

So the kit seems complete!

I went a different route myself, since I am replacing the valves, valve springs and cams, no sense paying for new parts I'm not gonna use; I bought a used set of heads for $425, and I'll purchase the rest of the swap parts, probably from Parkway or GEF.

My heads will be here tomorrow, I'm going to get them ported locally, add to that oversize ss valves, hd springs, and regrind cams, hoping to have the money to complete everything by mid November, install will be by me. Another thing I've heard and will try it if it is true, is that you can get custom length valves from Manley so lash caps and shims aren't required for the regrind cams.
