Comp also told me the same thing about the wear, but to be honest I've had a number of stock 351's in the past that never had problems...even my 85 Van with the same motor has over 100,000 miles....same original gear. I've read that high volume pumps are a problem and I do know that the last two cams I bought from comp came with very sharp gear edges. You can almost see where the gear has shaved off the distributor gear teeth. This last cam is totally different though....You can't feel a sharp edge anywhere.
Anyway...Good luck Jack...Hope it works for you. I won't know for another couple of weeks. My new motor arrives this week and I still have to change the cam, lifters and valve springs before I install it in the car. I also have to pull the T5z, install the TKO600, change rear end gears, install upper and lower tubular A Arms. Man...I feel like I'm starting all over again!
Let me know how it looks to you .... feels really light and weak to me.
