    All SBF engines have the distributor in the front of the block. You are looking at the PCV valve hole.

    No if you use a 5.0 explorer intake you have to use them as set lower and upper. The intake runners are different from the stock and the GT40.

    I'm gonna try and be polite as possible.

    A 302/5.0/SBF has never. EVER. and WILL NEVER. have a distributor in the back. Period. Good Lord, just the thought of it........

    Yes the PVC hole is about 1 inch in diameter on 5.0 EFI manifolds because a large rubber grommet fits in the hole in which the pcv valve fits.

    SBF intakes do not have distributor holes at all.

    You didn't take a hall effect sensor out of the PVC hole. There is some confusion here.

    the only thing you may have removed from it was a filter screen maybe.

    This will not work you can not use a explorer upper with out switching the lower to the explorer also the intake runners are not the same shape or location here are some pics to show you the differance

    87-93 stock 5.0 lower


    explorer lower


    stock 87-93 5.0 engine pic-note dist in front


    explorer intake on mustang dist in front


    hope this helps
