Chevy SB timing cover.

This should fit my block correct? It does say only up to 1991 though. Does anyone know of one that fits our block? I have a 94'

A regular SBC timing cover will not work on an LT1.

Stock to stock, they are not the same timing sets. I have never checked, but just the chains might interchange. The cam gear is the biggest difference, because it has extra teeth on the back to drive the water pump drive gear.

A regular SBC timing set can be used on the LT1 only if an electric water pump is used to eliminate the need for the water pump drive gear.
