If that gear popped out make sure it isn't floating around in your oil pan, you don't want to mess anything else up, also in my 5.0 anyways (I think it's the same as the foxes) the dizy also turns your oil pump

It'll go something like it's still on the stock auto, still on the stock 2.73s, I put it all together so it doesn't run right, etc.

I'm gonna try to get it out again tonight but I'll probably end up pulling the motor and checking everything out up close... You're right the dizzy turns the oil pump too I have a spare oil pump drive shaft and dizzy along with a stock 87 cam shaft lol

5.0's are acutally pretty easy to get out of the car, and they are pretty simple engines to screw around with


Think of it as an opportunity to freshen up all your gaskets and fix any little issues you might have

Oh I know they are easy I've had the motor out once and the tranny more than I care to think about haha but I did all new gaskets timing chain and oil pump when I did my head swap. The only "issue" I have since all that is either my t-stat or timing cover gasket leaking a little bit of water... Other than my dizzy.

Got the dizzy out and found my problem...



You can see here how worn the teeth are on the right one





And I believe this is why the car shut off.
