Clearance Problem ????

[Gearhead999]

I'm just about finished assembling the 347 V-8. Everything has gone together rather smooth. Till TODAY.....the day from Heck!!

I have a 94 302 V-8. Stroked to 347.

Ran into a problem on assembly...After installing the cam and timing chain and sprockets. I added the early model fuel pump cam to the end of the cam shaft. Here is where my problem occurs......

The chain and gears go on smoothly and line up correctly. But....the fuel pump cam drags against the inside of the timing chain cover. Has anyone seen this before???

I have an aftermarket fuel pump cam. I have found one at Ford and will see what difference it makes, if any at all.

Take care

I have heard of that being an issue before, but when I put my 91 engine in the 65, I did not run into that problem, but I used a 91 stock cam piece. If the stocker does not fix it, I will call my buddy up and see what exactly was wrong when he had that problem and what he did to correct it.
