351W Distributor?

Hey guys, looking to buy a dizzy for my 84 351W.
I'm going to be using a Ford Racing F cam w/ roller lifters, I will also be running a Carb instead of EFI.
I didnt know if this dizzy would work with my setup,

RE: 351W Distributor?

you got a roller cam block?
they only made roller cam blocks for 94-98.

The Ford A351 cam would probably be a better choice.

the dizzy should work, but make sure the bottom gear
matches what kind of cam you are going to use.

I thought with an 84 block, you could just install roller lifters and then run a normal roller cam?
But anyway, if not, where can I find this A351 Cam you speak of? And, with 1.6 rockers and 2.02 valves, will I need to notch the stock pistons? from this 84 351

if you want to run a roller camshaft in a flat tappet block.
you have to get a conversion kit. drill and tap the top of the block for it.. its pretty much self explanitory.. just make sure you line it up right before you start drilling,
second... you have to run a retro fit camshaft, with a small circle base.
