timing chain set prices?

Who has the cheapest lt4 extreme duty timing chain set?

GM parts direct - 206 or so, but I hear nothing but bad things about shipping and things of that nature.

Does Jason Cromer have the same prices as GM parts direct? He did on the LT4 Hot cam kit.

This is one of the last pieces of the puzzle that is a heads, cam, and header swap. I need one asap, but at a good price.

Thanks

Joe

There is another way to do it. You could get a cloyes double roller timing set and get an electric water pump. The cost is about the same if you get a csi pump. But you can free up some hp and cool the motor better.

Where can I find info and prices on these? A local speed shop said they didn't have a cloyes set for an LT1.

Thanks

The cloyes set you want isnt for an LT1... its a basic SBC chain and you need to swap to an electric water pump, as well as clearence the timing cover a bit to make it work. But it is a slightly cheaper alternative while freeing up horsepower as well.

Combination Motorsports has two different ones for a good price. I did not trim my timing cover at all. It fit perfect. I have the Edelbrock 7805 I believe in mine.

Which roller sets will fit in my 93 non-vented opti timing cover with or w/o an electric water pump? I know the LT4 extreme only fits the later timing covers. I don't want to convert my timing cover since I just installed a new non-vented opti.
