Guys,
All SBF engines that had the 5-bolt bell housing pattern, whether 221,
260 or 289, take the old-style cover which uses the aluminum water pump.
That is what I am looking for. I do not want to convert the engine to
the later cast iron design. If someone has one please contact me off
list.
Thanks,
Bugz

Subject: RE: [Tigers] 260 Timing Cover Needed
Bugz did not clarify his exact situation. There are timing covers for
alum water pumps for 260 and 289 engines then in 1965 Ford made a design
change to the timing cover for use with the cast iron water pump. You
can interchange the timing covers but each timing cover is specific to
the alum or cast iron water pump.

Bugz or someone who knows. the timing cover he want is for a 332
stroker. is that a 260 punched out to 332 or a 289 and it is punched out
to a 332. I'm not sure I understand why the water pump has to be the
cast iron type. It seems I had an aluminum one on a 5 bolt 289 some
years back but my memory has hols in it. Anyway, just exactly what does
Bugz need. I also have a parts car with the door closers on the doors IF
I can get the doors open. the car is in a fenced in area a wrecker
service friend was storing it for me until I cold remove the spare parts
BUT his wrecker rolled off into a lake and the water didn't do the turbo
charger much good and his insurance is saying it was intentional, so he
has to sue to recover his wrecker value, it is so easy to dislike
insurance companies- Thank the Lord they aren't all alike.That said, he
is out of town and its very hot and the car is in weed with no wheel kn
either end=before he would have pulled it up on his flat bed tilt
wrecker wrecker and taken it to my shop, I could remove the extra parts
and cut the door closers out for whom ever it was in need of then. many
Thanks and tons of regards,
TtT
