V8 front engine cover

Oct 26, 2003 5 Replies

I am in the process of building a 4.6lt V8 for my Tomcat. I will be using a distributor but would like the late type crank driven oil pump. Does anyone know which front cover to use? I have seen these at shows but have never been able to find out which model, a part number would be very useful. I do not want the hassle and expense of putting the full GEMS system on as I already have a hotwire system to go on. Any help would be appreciated. Bo!

As far as I am aware the front cover you describe does not have a distributor mounting facility. Terry

I was able to buy one int he US. The parts supplier told me it didn't have a hole for the distributor. I told them to look and it did. I think the part number is ERR6814. Here is a picture
