i forgot, i need a e-fan and serpentine belt setup too.
what is going to be the best option for a 5.0? mustang, explorer, truck, etc.??? ill have to buy a new intake anyway.

i've been considering engine options recently. I was wondering if the explorer 302 ran a dist.? I was thinking they would be my best option because of the GT40P Heads and already having a serp. belt setup on them. i just wasn't sure if they can accept a MSD dist??
Thanks

An Explorer 302 will run a distributor just fine. Not with Explorer wiring, of course.
