I am doing a 03 4.6 engine swap on my 98 and I am using the 98 timing cover so everything bolts up. I have a 700 core charge on my OEM block but I am having a hard time finding a npi used or new timing cover to put back on my original block. Jasper will not take the core back without a timing cover and I can't used the 03 one since there are slight differences. Ebay has ones for like 96-00 Mercury's but i was uncertain if those would work. What all will fit and be the exact same cover from 4.6's in different cars.

If anyone else has the same issue in the future, Facebook market place is you best friend. I found one for $150.
