Oh by the way the engine is a 75' in a ford F-150 79'.

 

Actually the 300s used a gear driven timing set. All you need is to remove the harmonic balancer/crank pulley, 3 oil pan bolts, and 10 or 12 bolts that hold the front cover, remove it and your all set. I would remove the fan just so you have a little more room to work...aside of that it friggin hurts when you scuff your knuckles on the fan blades.

 

Hey thanks PKupman82. Yeah I know what it feels like when you hit those fan blades been there done that.
