My neighbor wants to put a MAC gear drive in a '74 302. The drive is advertised for '85 and up 5.0s. Is the front of a roller cam 5.0 different than a 302? Or are they saying '85 and up because of the fuel pump eccentric? The 85 GT has a mechanical pump so what's up? Thanks for any responses.------------------

The price is right at $99.50. He wants to make sure it'll fit before he buys it!------------------

Fuel pump eccentric. All of the blocks are the same in the front otherwise.  ------------------

The blocks might be the same, but I couldn't use a pre 1985 roller chain timing set on my 1987 engine, it interfered with the block. Correct application (same vendor) worked fine. ------------------
