Now before you tell me I am an idiot it think a 300 six would be a great swap from the four banger. Has anybody ever done one before? If you are asking me why I will tell you two reasons lighter than a 5.0 and more torque. I am on a budget and the four banger is not enough power even with a...

every body has an option butt mine is .i love these motors generally there are not a problem child other then breaking timing belts (i change them every 30000 ish cheap 15 dollar insurance and blowing factory head gaskets fix it:nice: btw 5.0 is a popular conversion but a lot of work

do you know how long the shaft is 1 or 1 1/2 thanks

the reason for thick film is because of weird distributor that was in donner motor 88 ltd roller---the shaft is smaller and the longer from the gear down (1 inch -most 5.0's mine 1 1/2 inch) cannot find distributor with advance capabilities

as meassured from end of shaft to bottom of gear (oil pump drive end) is 1 1/2" on 88 crown vic donner car 1 " on older distributor i had dist shaft is also smaller diameter on vicky one cant use thick film dist. running carb and need mechanical advance (drag car vacuum not needed)
