Disassembly is 99% complete. Here are the pictures that go along with that.

 

Loose chain for some reason. Does anybody know if this is normal, or what?

what are your plans? tubular k memeber going in? or is it a secret....

 

edit: I beleive some of the tensioners were plastic and known to fail. Upgrade to the metal tensioners if they are not already

 

 

I heard he is putting a 302 in because he likes the sound better.

How long until its all done?

I'll have the suspension together this week most likely. As soon as I get the rest of the parts (hopefully a week?) I'll throw all that together. I hope to have it running like shit here in the next 2 weeks. I'm guessing another month or 2 after that and it should be done.

Hal, in all the pictures I have here on the computer, and the pictures in my 4.6 book, none of the timing chains look loose like they do in your car. I think you may have jumped time (especially after looking at the marks on you chain/gear). I would take the timing sprocket off of the crank and rotate the engine until the number one piston is TDC. There are 2 copper links on each timing chain (even the smaller secondary chains). They should all line up to timing marks on the gears. Also, the camshaft keyways should all be facing straight down. If the cam keyways face down on the drivers side, but the passenger side looks offset, you found your problem. If you want me to come over and help, let me know.

Damn, I was hoping it wasn't going to be out of time.

 

I probably won't get into that for a week or two. I'll text you and let you know, thanks a lot.
