what happened to that timing cover?? it looks like someone tried to pry the timing cover off with bolts still in it.

I've dealt with that with some of the Explorer engines I've parted out. The bolts break, and or corrode into the cover and there is no way to get them off without breakage. They can be a real PITA!
Anyway;
Chris, you need to quit messing around and get that thing together and out to the track! Summer doesn't last forever
Post whore time!!
Quick update. So far parts are starting to come. Picked up an 8.8 with 4.10's from Mrvids, thanks Mike! Better Radiator, and rebuilt posi from Tooslo , spare parts are always nice for me .
So I have two 8.8's, two T-5's(one is broke), two starters, two alternators, 3 radiators(multiple deals in two years) and two extra fenders >.>.
I just got an F303 Cam, I talked to the machinist here in Mt Pleasant "engines r us". Old school Ford guy, he said he could do it in a couple weeks . That's plenty of time for me to pull the t5, and yank my engine for cleaning and install the heads/cam when the time comes.
I still need
-Timing cover, Timing chain/gear, lifters, pushrods, valve springs, tuning software(probably Megasquirt!), and I think I need 24lb injectors(still need to research that), installing my line lock.
And of course, rear tires... the new ones did awesome, but lasted 7months .. LOL.
Goals are to start this thing mid/late July. Get it tuned, and hopefully hit 109mph, and go 12.5.

Oh, every SBF i have taken apart has broken at least 1-2 bolts but I have never seen anyone split one like that to pull it off lol
