I haven't tried one, but look in to the Noisy Gear Set if you don't want to stay stock.

I mainly just get what they have at the auto parts store that the factory calls for.

I did a quick search and came up with this http://www.catpep.com/catproducts/gears/geardrivetimingset.asp

My stepdad had the noisy ones in his 350, they were nice but killed off the noise of the engine. I may just go to my parts store and get a factory set from an HO mustang as suggested.

Well as suggested in my 302 question thread I went to my locakl parts store and got a new OEM one for $11.55 and thats with a 10% discount due to another sister store in town had the part in stock. It also has different degree slots that allow me to advance/retard the camshaft 4 degrees but Im going to keep put in on the engine in the stock position.

She back to 4wd. No more just front wheel drive.

I also found out before I got this fixed is I can do front wheel drive burn outs.

Got the HO cam in.

Old cam being taken out.

HO cam with assembly lube that was used on all the parts taken off for the cam instal.

Compairing the HO with the Non HO.

HO cam in.

New timing set.

All back together.

Also I rotated it a few times and nothing made contact, i.e piston and valve, so all is good to go.

 

[dangerranger83]

The lobes will be in different places. The HO cam has a different firing order then the Non HO cams.

Sitting in the garage I noticed that my 302 bellhousing has 2 bolt holes for the starter. Went in the house and saw that my new/rebuilt starter from rockauto has 3 bolt holes and it is made to mount on the driverside of some other vehicle.

So If I go tto autozone, they want $40 for a rebuilt starter with core, maybe they wont notice that the starter I have is different from the one I need.

Or if I go to the JY, I wonder if they will trade me stright up for the one I have for one they have.

This swap is on a roll! Keep up the good work!

Got the engine cleaned up a bit more, Im like on 2 out of 3 total clewanings before painting it.

Also need to figure out how to get the old dipstick tube out so that I can put a new one in it.

Next is to take off the exhaust manifolds and do the last detail cleaning with a toothbrush.

 

[Robert_1967]

use a hammer on the bottom side of the tube and tap it out (tap not bang), if that don't work, then use a drill.

Are you going to paint the engine ford blue ???? or that ugly ford grey ????

Got the dipstick tube out, now to find one. The one given to me doesnt look like it may work.

Okay picture time of what I did today.

Also got the seal out of the timing cover too. Im torn as to what color to paint it.
