I wanted one badly, but just sooo spendy. I'm sticking with the 3.5" for mine and printing out a mount for it

Its amazing how much they get for that stuff, the gauges I want are about a grand.

The little OBD based ones are pretty solid alternatives - used one in my buggy

I'm thinking something like this with the two big gauge pods on a custom bracket to fit behind my original gauge bezel.

I haven't gotten super serious about it but I like the concept of accurate gauges.

More disassembly today. I was going to begine re-assembly with new parts. But, I'm not ready. The timing chain assembly I ordered seems to be wrong. Plus, I need some new bolts for the water pump. Two of them broke. Both successfully removed now.

This bolt broke outside the water pump.

this bolt broke midway through the timing cover.

Let's hope these are the only circumstances that this engine ever finds itself in this orientation.

Those bolts are good for that... thanks to Ford's genius timing cover design.

What is up with your new timing chain?

Yeah, I bought some generic cheap unit and it went in just fine...
