That cam was designed with a stock motor in mind. I would ask TSP but if I recall they specifically state that tolerence should ALWAYS be verified. Due to Milage, I myself have reused timing chain and oil pump but those could be things you can do,

You shouldn't have any PTV issues with that cam on factory heads. Like with ANY cam, check PTV before you fire it up. I would tell you to do that on a 220R cam as well. Everyone makes mistakes and it is easier to fix before you bend all the valves. (knocking on wood of you!) I would recommend a pump and chain while you are in the motor but it isn't a must. Same goes with the trunion upgrade kit. It is nice to have in there but not a must. Stock rockers work fine on that cam but every now and then they kick the needle bearings out. I have seen them do the same on a stock cam as well. Just double check everything and take your time and you should be good!
