Eccentric2.jpgTiming chain - Tru Roller - for sure, but also an oil pump(standard volume) and replace that dinky pump drive shaft with a Ford Performance or ARP high strength version. I don't recall the Windsors having a retarded camshaft (385's did), but if they did, a later version will fix that problem. Check the fuel pump eccentric too. If it's the 2 piece, make sure the tab is in good shape. It's embarrassing to be towed home if it tears off (as I found out about this time last year - I screwed up with a used eccentric )

yeah thats the part i pulled pictured above, i'll check into a different shaft and double check the fuel pump, no sense finding out later the hard way when i got everything exposed now. cheaper to just do it right the first time i always say!

Just make sure it isn't a 351W pump drive - too big.

I have a one piece eccentric in my engine now(the ONLY used piece in that engine) - Summit has them, but no drive pin. I ended up having to buy a box of the correct size dowel pins from McMaster-Carr
