Reply to "351C trouble."

As the pin has scuffed the metal, ther must have been some lack of oiling. Probably in the very first minute of running, that you didnt observe. One is quite nervous when fire up for the first time and dont get everything under control.

When those scuffing prosess has get started,
they tend to proceed. Did you prelube the engine by a chaft down the distributor hole?
Long hoses to a oil cooler? Filled up the oilfilter in advance? A non primed oilpump may take a while to get vorking.

If not anything of my suggestion is true, do check the olipump and pic up.
