Your engine already has the good double roller timing chain.
ALL 5.0L passenger cars built 1986 and newer got roller hydraulic cams and double roller timing chains.
a nine position timing chain is helpfull if you plan on advancing or retarding the cam.2003 Town Car Signature - 3.27 RAR, Dual exhaust and J-mod - SOLD 9/2011

just make sure the parts store gives you the right part if you dont get that 9 position jobber. they gave me a single roller chain when i did my 88 HO. i went someplace else because they wanted to argue about it when i asked for the double roller style.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

The explorer cam is 256/266 with .422/.448 with a 116 lobe seperation. It'll fit fine. It's a high torque cam, great for a big car..Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Mine is 264/270 512/512. on a 114 seperation. the HO cam is a good piece, and I'd think the exploder cam would work nicely on a stock HO and give it a bit more low end grunt than the HO camOriginally posted by DuceAnAHalfBuilder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
