Yea it was the timing cover. Oh well. I have a friend with a 74 ranchero with a 351. Thing is it`s a carb. what will I need to change in the fuel lines and pump? Would I be better off putting an efi on it? I know I`d have to buy a whole new wiring and computer system and it would get pretty expensive. But he put 6k into this motor and just needs a new oil pump. He only wants 1200 for it. I cant find any good 5.0`s around. All the junkyards want 800-900 bux for a standard 5.0 with god knows how many miles and who know if it`s any good. Standard 5.0`s arent worth the head ache. Anybody know where I could find a deal on a mustang or mark8 5.0?

I`m located in Saint peters Missouri. I figure since I`m going through so much work I might as well put something faster in it. May cost some money but it`s worth it. This thing was so much fun to drive around the parking lot. I used to drive up on the sidewalks with 2 wheels on the side walk lol.
