Finish my engine for Kirkham

[Keithc8]

Dan we have been using the Ford Racing and MSD gears the most. We have been using the Ford Racing J steel gear on the MSD distributor FEs that we have been doing. We have used the hydraulic and solid roller lifters in the aluminum blocks with no problems as long as we check the lifter bore holes. They will normally require a litle honing to get on to spec. Thanks, Keith Craft

Keith,

Regarding SBF and without running an internal oil pump, I suppose same as an FE with flat tappet all this becomes a non issue with steel gears?

The -J is listed as a 351C/429/460 steel gear. I noticed that one of
the Crane FE steel gears is also cross-referenced to a 351C/429/460 gear.
I guess that means the FE gear has the same outside diameter (inner
diameter likely varies depending upon OEM or aftermarket distributor).
