hi my name is martin im from argentina and y have a ford f150 v8 5.0 efi
vin number 1FTEF14NXSNB44693
and y have to change the timing chain and y bought a ford timing chain (m-6268-a302)that dont fit in my motor.
what timing chain set would fit my truck????
y buy some parts in summit racing.com
do you have some links where y can see timing chain sets??
bye thank you guys

 

Why doesn't the timing chain fit? Somethings not right here. All timing chains will fit all year small blocks. The only difference is some are double rollers now and the older motors had the eccentric that mounted to the cam gear and the EFI motors don't have thios so the cam gear is a little thicker.

 

the new chain is much thiker
wount scrach the timing chain cover?
mustang and truck motors use the same timing chains??
this is the timing chain kitt that y have here

this will fit my f 150 v8 5.0 efi VIN NUMBER 1FTEF14NXSNB44693.
here in argentina is very difficult to have this truck parts
so y bought in summit this one and send it by fedex
the chain costs me around 150dls with taxes and shiping
so y want to buy the right one or use the one y have here
that summit link is the chain that y have here
thanks guys

 

The chain could be thicker because it is a duble roller chain which is stronger and will last longer. As for the chains being the same I looked up an 89 truck with a 351W and an 89 mustang with a 302 and the both had the same part numbers. You can look this info up yourself at http://www1.autozone.com/servlet/UiB...n=viewHomePage

 

Sounds like you have just purchased a better chain, i wouldent worry to much, put it on and then see if the cover hits it, you will be able to tell while your putting the cover on, but i highly doubt youll have any problems.

 

Why did you purchase the more expensive timing chains? That Ford Motorsport chain is a good chain however, I would have chose a less expensive chain. I was looking at timing chains at Summit Racing. This is what I found : Comp Cams timing chain CCA-2138 for $39.95 for Ford 84-92 302/351W. Edelbrock timing chain EDL-7811 $59.95 for Ford 62-65, 73-95 221, 260, 289, 302, 351W. Edelbrock timing chain EDL-7814 $59.95 for Ford 62-65, 73-95 221, 260, 289, 302, 351W.
If I were you, I would send the Ford Racing timing chain back and have Summit exchange the part for the Comp Cams timing chain. How many miles did the other chain last? Timing chains are fairly durable, they all wear though. Just my opinion.

 

i just took out a fuelie motor out of a car ... and put a dubble roller in with my old fuel pump stuff on the new timming chain.. and put on my timming cover on and it did not hit it at all and let me tell you that a 89....5.0 ho is one hot luttle motor in the old 72 custom.......
