Ok, so my baby is a 95 Ext Cab with a 302. I bought it from another guy that gave up on it, with the 302 conversion already done. I brought it back to life and have been working on it here and there as I've had extra money for the last couple years. The seller told me it was a Mustang 302, however, several clues lead me to believe its actually a Mountaineer/Explorer 302. Such as, the ONLY "short" water pump that gives me the clearance I need and bolted right up comes back to 97 to 01 Explorer/Mountaineer 5.0. The pump with the really strange pulley with the center hole thats nearly 3 inches across and is ONLY available in junkyards now. However, we pulled the harmonic balancer tonight because it was off by 1/16th of an inch from perfectly parallel when measured with a tape and straightedge. According to an exhaustive tech article on Hotrod ( see link) the Explorer 5.0 Harmonic Balancer is a one piece unit with the crank pulley integrated into it. But what we pulled off my truck has a seperate crank pulley. Which now leads me back to thinking it MIGHT be a Mustang 302 after all.
At this point Im pulling my hair out and my buddy thats helping with the rebuild is also scratching his head.
Basically, all i need to know is WHICH year timing cover should I buy that will let me run all MUSTANG FEAD AND give me the "short shaft" water pump I need to clear my electric fan. Any help guys ?
