I just bought a 1993 fox and want to purchase this crate motor, it says it has Fuel pump eccentric M-6287-B302 installed, allows use of a mechanical fuel pump, since i am using a electric fuel pump what do i need to make this work?

simple block of plate if it has a provision in the timing cover for mech pump if it doesn't come with a timing cover, use a efi cover

Can always remove bolt and trash the eccentric.

If i swapped to a efi timing cover, would i need the block off plate or would the new cover not have the provision for the mechanical fuel pump like the new crate motor does?

mjr46

it would not have the provision

I know it says I need to swap distributor gears? What's different compared to stock one

if your using a roller cam your current distributor must have a steel gear, oem distributors removed from 5.0 h.0 roller cam blocks from 85-95 all had steel gears as long as you don't have a distributor from a 85 cfi h.o your fine

Not always true. In some applications, the eccentric is located by a longer cam dowel. If you remove the eccentric, the cam bolt washer hits dowel. That's a bad thing.

It doesn't hurt anything for it to be there. I'd just leave it.

So should i get a new efi timing cover or just go with the block off plate?
