Nope, this is a 1994 351w, all truck front dress, reverse rotation water pump.
The only thing from the explorer is the 36-1 wheel.
All other parts, sensor, pigtails, etc. brand new.
The timing cover is a Dorman 635100.

After a closer look at your pic, I should have said that the water pump looks like the reverse rotation pump used on the 96.5 to 2001 Mountaineer/Explorer 5.0s. What year is the 28oz hb/damper that has a ridge on the back compatible with the 36-1 ring? and is the 36-1 pulsator ring available seperately? I may be off a year or two but was 1981 the last year of 28 oz balance? Was 351W ever 50 oz or did it stay 28 oz when Ford changed the 302 to 50 oz?

I picked up an 1981 28oz balancer that had a 4-point ring, same as the California 1996 351w 28oz, very rare and hard to find part. The diameter of the 4-point ring is exactly like the explorer 36-1 wheel.
I used a 96-01 stock balancer, stuck it in the freezer overnight, and popped of the trigger wheel with a couple of pry bars.

The big difference is the truck serpentine pulley has four holes to bolt to the four holes on balancer. All or most 28oz balancers only have 3.

I’ve been searching for this set up for two years.

I’ll post pictures this weekend as I get it all assembled.

Can You guys just not use something like this>>>>?
Use the stock sensor instead of an aftermarket one. I did something very similar on a 2.3l lima engine I built a long time ago and used a megasquirt.

Yes, but my 36-1 wheel is on the backside of the balancer, and does not require a custom mount for the sensor.

But if you made a customer mount you could make it adjustable and be able to set it exactly how you want it without having to worry about how it gets pressed on. As long as you got it in the general area you could adjust the sensor accordingly

I’m going to get it pressed on perfectly to avoid having a custom adjustable bracket, once and done.

Is that a new Windsor damper that you found?

Used, E1TE-C3A, listed on eBay as a E1TA.
Just got another F6TA-JA, very hard to find.
