ORIGINAL: 2000GTFOOL
Ok.. Here is the deal, FORDmerged the part numbers for the timing chain guideson the 99-04 Mustang GT's with the 4.6L SOHC. Unfortunately they are using the replacements from the 99-EARLY 2000 GT guides as the part number. That part number will NOT bolt up to the LATE 2000-2004 GT's.. This poses a problem to people like me who have engines/cars that were built late in the production run. Ford was UNABLE to get me the guides I needed as they have mistakenly assumed all the 4.6L used the same guides and mounting points, which they don't. They made a note of my complaint and hopefully they will re-visit the part #'s and application.
I found the parts that fit the late 2000-2004 models at AUTOZONE.
According to the Autozone Part #
716436
716437 These are the VDP part #'s.
Hope this helps anyone else doing this service. It has been apain in the ass that the parts I ordered didn't fit the car.....

Did you actually try to bolt them up? Im using all of the timing equipment from my 99 on an 03 shortblock with no issues at all.
