Are the 94-95 mustang timing covers the same as those on explorers/mountaineers?

[Killercanary]

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a new timing cover for my car (I want to polish it) and I found one from an explorer that the seller assures me is the same. I have no reason to doubt him but I always double check things on my own too. From the pics I have seen they look identicle, but I wondered if anyone here knows for sure that they are the same or if anyone is using them. Please let me know ASAP with any info you have. Thanks!

I too would like to know since mine got chewed up by the balancer when it let go.

Me 2, but just for the **** of it, lol.






Nah, I may be swapping some parts off of my Mountaineer motor once things get going, so I'd like to know as well.

yes it is
but if you want a new one paul I have one sitting under my dresser in here you can have for oh hell 50-60 bucks?

They are not "exactly" the same. Some minor differences, but not in anything that matters.

Is the bolt pattern for the water pump pulley different? I bought a cover and pump off e-bay and the holes in my pulleys were a smaller bolt circle than the ones in the new pump.

the pump is different. The main difference in the cover is just the provision and clearanceing for the Distributorless Ignition Setup. I'm using one on my 408W

Wowzer ..... I didn't know you were doing a 408 build man. Should be awesome!

So that means it can be used on our cars then correct?


Gibbo, what's your email address so I can email you? I'm interested!

Correct, it can be used on our 94-95 Cars.

Yep, Getting close to finishing it. Just got the S-trim S/C for it. Still setting up the Coil ON Plug Ignition.

This is good info; I needed a new one for my 306, and I got lucky I knew someone that had one. Now I know I can find one pretty easily in a boneyard :SNSign:
