Tom,
Ford switched to a one-piece rear main seal in 1985. It looks like a giant
front main seal.
If you are interested in using a serpentine belt system, you may want to check
into the late 5.0 Explorer front cover, water pump and alternator set up. I
used it on the 302 in my Geo Tracker and it appears to shorten the overall
length of the engine by about 1.5 inches. I can take some measurements and send
you some pictures if you want.
Good luck,
A. C. Tynes

Subject: [Tigers] 302 engine question(s)
Hi Guys, I haven't posted in a while.
I have my 302 almost completely built up:
1985 302 HO from a Mustang (carb & roller)
Holley 600 CFM
Edelbrock alum intake and heads
Ford B303 roller cam
Aftermarket roller lifters
LAT headers, aluminum valve covers
1. I was wondering if the stock, 1985 timing chain cover, water pump,
pullies,etc. are compatable with the Tiger radiator spacing. I will use
electric fan(s) if necessary (or recommended by you all. I will probably go
with a new aluminum radiator as well (for weight savings)
2. I need to replace the crankshaft seals due to age. Any idea if the
rear is one piece, split or rope?
