I have read that I would need to run an explorer timing cover and water pump to run the explorer brackets with sepintine belt set up. does anyone know if that is true?

I have a set of d80e heads that need to be reworked. does anyone know what these are off of? valve sizes? cc's of chamber?

bought a 1990 5.0 came out of bronco. would it be worth it to drill and tap holes in the block for the spider to make it a roller cammed motor or just go with a nice flat tappet cam?
