I don't remember that to be true... it's a year change, not a "SVT vs. non" type of change. Older 3L's had thicker timing components as did older 2.5's. Newer 2.5's and 3L have the skinnier chains/etc no matter if it's SVT, Taurus, Escape, etc. All that matters in the end is that the skinny chains are used with skinny chains/hardware and matching skinny cam gears, or vice versa with thick timing chains/hardware and matching thick cam gears.

For the crank position sensor, use the 2.5 wheel position and the 2.5 timing cover... I know there's a picture of the timing wheel on the 2.5 slot around here somewhere... Maybe Rick/Buckshot has one......
