Re: Steel Gear
AFAIK, all roller cams are steel-gear tolerant since that's what Ford used stock on them. I think its only standard lifter cams that are sensitive to the gear only being bronze. But I could be wrong.

Re: Steel Gear
Yep, need a steel gear with that cam, but............depends on what kind of distributor you are using also. I would really reccomend to a lot of you out there to download the FRPP catalog for all kinds of good info. This is from that catalog.

Re: Steel Gear
Yep motor is completely put together. I hit a HUGE speed bump in fundings (all bills from that spinal tap stuff came in). I need to pull a couple motors and trans to finish up but should be doing weekend warrior type thing.
