Awhile back I had a 82 Capri with I put a 87 5.0, ported the heads, B Cam, RPM intake and 650 holley. I put an old 4 speed in there and it ran low 13 in 1/4. I used 85 GT dist. it had the steel gear to work with roller cam. There are a lot better cams to use now. It sounds like youre going in right direction. Ive heard good things about that dist, I'm going to getting one for my 90 soon. You didn't say if the xr7 was carb or TB. If it was tb make sure to take FI fuel pump off
