timing components for built motor

[b00stedgt]

I am installing my 302E and just wanted to make sure I have all of the parts I need before I start. I purchased the steel bodied tensioners already. What else do I need? I am assuming the timing chain and guides should be changed as well. Am I missing anything else?

Levittown Ford has sold the complete kit from $190-242.

It's $242 on the website, but others have gotten it for $190 by calling(?).

I actually got the kit for $172 ($190 with shipping) when I ordered in July. Just googled it there it was. Even at $242 in is a great deal.

Do I need to change the camshaft sprockets if I am keeping stock heads and cams?

You can't beat the price of that kit even if you don't use the sprockets right now. If it was me, I'd install the whole kit and keep the old parts in case you need a set of emergency backups.
