Reply to "351C Engine parts-detailed plan"

Did I miss something in the 2 pgs of posts here as to what engine you have? Because those are NOT 351-C oil pump parts pictured with the scratches & nicks. All Ford V-8s since about 1965 used gearotor pumps, not spur-gear pumps. The gear looks like a 9-tooth BBC pump piece- or maybe BB Buick.

And if you do replace a Ford gearotor pump (outer ring and inner 4-lobe gear), I suggest you also replace the stock 7" long mild steel hex-end pump driveshaft with an aftermarket 4130-steel shaft, and replace the multilayer spring-pin in the distributor gear with a thick-wall roll-pin, or a home-made dowel pin made of tool steel. This included high-dollar aftermarket distributors, too. They ALL include the wimpy breakable stock spring-pin.
