Only if you go from a flat tappet to a roller cam (or vice-versa) The cam's materials are different (steel for the roller, cast iron for flat tappet)

Itz been a while so I think this was covered, but your 89 block is "roller capable", it will need a "spider" & "dog bones" to go with a roller cam.
Most all hi-perf small block Ford cams usually have the notation in their specs "must use 351 firing order".
You will need a steel distributor gear. I'd also suggest you take the time to replace the PIP sensor in the distributor since you have to press off the gear.
Use a Motorcraft part.

Use a steel gear.
This would be fine for your application if you can't a Motorcraft part.

Measure the shaft.
(Edit) larger shaft probably for 351/5.8, my bad.

I just found a video by comp cams on summit tech support (I’m old so can’t link it)but it gives a chart and a video shows how to see the difference in cam material and a chart shows drive gear chooses I’m going to use steel

Mission creep
Hope this isn’t a bad sign the drive gear for the distributor that I have looks to be a steel/plastic stock drive gear I need to change out I don’t want to change the hole distributor just the gear it has a roll pin and I believe it’s a press on gear. The machine shop I use doesn’t do this so looking around. The ford dealer says it an obsolete part and can’t even get me a part number. A new year project road block?
