I bought a rebuilt engine to install in my 89 mustang to replace the stock 5liter HO
The block was from an older vehicle and is just a 302 bored .040 over
my first question is about the cam sprocket/timing chain. on the cam sprocket there is something bolted onto it which i think is a 2pc. fuel pump eccentric. im wondering if this is necessary when using the older block or if i can remove it because its going in a newer car. (im going to upgrade to a double roller chain)
my second question is about the camshaft. i was reading online and heard that the firing order is different and the 5.0 HO uses the 351W fiting order. so i am assuming that i will need to install a HO style cam to work with my EFI setup but not sure if this is true. if so im planning on an E303
this engine was built to go into an older carbeurated truck, I was ready to install the engine this weekend until i read this info , and any other info you may have or problems i may run into during this swap would be appreciated
