Works with our Quick Change Timing Cover (pictured above/not included) or it may be used with a customized/modified OEM front cover or other brand aftermarket covers (end user's responsibilty to establish final fitment of this component with covers other than our own).
May be used with other brand cam drive front covers of modified OEM front cover
The Quick Change Timing Cover's cam gear cover plate is about 0.375" at it's thickest point and has undercut registers on both sides for alignment and fitment. The register on the front of the cover plate is for an Enderle pump but of course you can use other brands. These cover plates come undrilled in the pump mounting area so that the end user may set up as he pleases, and then it will still be possible to "clock" the cover in 60-degree increments, should you decide to re-route your fuel delivery system.
Covers are sold out and casting the next batch was actually discussed this morning.
hmmm...wonder if it would bolt up to my nicson waterpump, it has a single bolt that goes into the cam and then a flat head type piece that goes to the water pump.

Dmontzsta, these hex drives are for injector-style pumps; you would likely need to purchase the mating part of your Nicson waterpump drive system from Rex.
The next batch of Quick Change Timing Covers are just around the corner (as is many of our other products). Price TBD but any change would be negligible, if at all, based on our recent cost analysis.

rvesterby, JSRacing and others that have inquired...an explanation:
We just spent quite a bit of time & effort trying to get our Quick Change Timing Cover casting pattern back from the casting foundry that had it. I am pleased to say that we finally re-took posession of it just last Friday March 20.
And so this week, the pattern goes to the pattern maker for some slight revisions that will make the cover more "modular" relative to it's use with whichever combination of HFD parts that one may wish to run on his engine....and coincidentally, these Cover revisions will also advance the cover to be not only the super high-end drag racer component it has been but also will make it much more widely usable to a bigger cross-section of performance enthusiasts.
I don't know the turnaround time that the pattern maker will need, but rest assured that we are over the big hurdle now that we have our pattern back in our hands. Immediately after our inspection and approval of the modified pattern, the next batch of covers gets poured, heat treated, and machined
Thanks for your patience and we will post here when the new batch of covers are completed and in stock.
Well I've been striking out locally. Called one shop and left a message and they never responded. Called another local machine shop and they have been jerking me around for 7 days trying to get a quote in writing on building a 521 short block. I think I've waited long enough since I was told on...
I have for sale a set of 427 FE Long Tube Manifolds. They came off of my 63 Galaxie before I dropped my 521 big block in the car. I am asking $1350obo. I will cover shipping. I am located in Vista California and I can be reached at [email protected] Let me know if you have any questions.
Was browsing and found a crower 3.850 stroke billet crankshaft...........if anyone was needing one......normally $4,300........reduced to $1000.
