INSTALLATION NOTES:
See engine installation and tuning tips on page 28.
Some or all of the following items may need to be changed from your original engine or modified for proper installation:

This engine has a dual sump oil pan and pickup, Mustang/truck timing cover and water pump, and non-EFI valve covers.

Performance oil pan and pick-up may be required for your application. Call the Tech “Hot Line” at (586) 468-1356 for more information.

The Mustang/truck timing chain cover may work for 1979-93 Mustang, and most 1987-96 trucks. M-6059-D351 replacement front cover, see page 86, may work for most other common applications.

The water pump may work for most 5.0/5.8L serpentine reverse rotation (A392) or V-belt standard rotation (D392) applications. Other applications may require water pumps found on pages 86-87.

The valve covers (M-6582-E302P) should fit most Mustang and other non-EFI applications, optional valve covers (sold separately) are available on pages 106-108.

The damper assembly may require a spacer for pulley alignment, see pages 74-75.

The flywheel should work for most 157-tooth manual transmission applications. For other transmission applications use the proper 28 oz. flywheel. See pages 115-116.

Firing order 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 (5.0L HO and 351W order).

Built with current available parts. Photo and specs may vary.
