If its made in China is will be stamped "MADE IN CHINA" right on the bottom of it. I never had bad experience with blue ovals service just their parts. I baught a "complete" interior screw kit off of them a while back and used it, only half of them were the right sizes, hell. I was just lucky to get the other half to fit! I dont think I will order from them again..... just my 02

onefine89mustang's sig made me think of something. if things are going to be apart, is it a lot more work to change the tming chain? and do stock motors have this "double rolling timing chain"?

It's not difficult to change a timing chain, just time-consuming. If you're going to change the chain, change the cam at the same time. Yes, 5.0's have a "double-roller" chain as stock.

As far as the China-thing goes, all new Cobra manifolds are made in China and it shows. Badly.
