The blocks were drilled for the spider valley fasteners for years prior. Someone could have added it and the roller cam.

More likely, it is an engine from a car. That would explain the intake setup. The F-150 setup is much different.

If someone was knowledgeable enough to install a roller cam & spider in a roller-ready, but not equipped block, they would be experienced enough to install a the compatible distributor, or distributor gear.

Well after some research found out a capacitor in the ecu is bad and leaking so that would explain why it runs good for a minute, then shuts down right away,took it apart so hopefully someone can put a new one in for me other two look ok but probably replace them to for the extra couple bucks,plus I got huge hands and that ecu is in a tight spot only want to do it once lol it's a A9L if someone has a spare good one they wouldn't mind parting ways with keep you all posted on the outcome!
