Is melling a good replacement brand for a stock timing chain, I've only seen the LT4 and Comp versions, just looking to do a stock rebuild

Melling is decent but for a stock rebuild just use oem parts, save money! The OEM sets were going for about half that price and they are perfectly suitable for applications much stronger than stock!

 

i cant find the stock sets, where do you get em other than the lt4 ones

 

Let me do some research for you, I know that GM Parts direct has them, however they nail you on shipping and they take a LONG time to ship. You could check with the dealers listed on shbox's site and get the PN and order from there, seeing that it is a GM Parts list they shouldn't vary from that price too much.

 

I went to my local dealership, was dirt cheap compared to the lt4, which I also have....


Found my receipt for my timing chain set

Chain $37.90
Sprocket $33.85
Sprocket $43.52
