2009 3.5 limited - timing chain

[JPJMustang]

looking to change the timing chain & ......

Are there any recommendations for kits and what should I have in the kit?

 

And for my information - did they put different 3.5s in these - or are they all the same?

 AFAIK there are two different 3.5 L engines, one that faces forward with an external water pump and the the other a transverse (as in the Edge) with an external water pump. 

 

As far as the 14 parts in a kit, you can check out this kit for what's included. Not recommending as it's not Motorcraft, and I'd only use Motorcraft, but gives you a good idea as to what's included.

While you're tearing down the engine, I'd also go with new plugs, new coil skirts & new EGR.

I'm betting you meant external and internal, not external and external

Ummmmm, let's compromise. I'll say I was wrong if you admit I was right.
