Seeking Timing Cover from 3.9L (or 3.5 L) V8 (i.e., with Distributor)

I'm looking for a Timing Cover (suitable for use with Distributor) from a 3.9L (or 3.5 L) V8. These were commonly used in North American market Defender '93 and '95, Range Rovers, and Discovery vehicles.

I would also be interested in both parts of the plenum air intake.

So there are two types, the serp belt one on 94/95 discovery I and 95 RRC and the one on RRC 94 and down and 93-95 defenders.

I have the air plenum off an 94 discovery although I don’t particularly want to ship it. Pretty sure I have the timing cover too, although it does not have the gears.

If V-belt, a lot of the spares I’ve found had the oil pump too worn to make decent oil pressure—it’s tricky to find good ones and difficult to tell if they are bad. I hate that front cover. If serp, then great. Everything is serviceable. If not, screw the ancillaries, and switch To serp. Then, source a v-belt cover for storage if you have to switch back…or if oem is more important than engine life
