I am getting ready to do a cam swap on my 96 LT1, and I don't know what kind of timing chain to use. The only one I have seen is the GMPP one for $250, I was wondering if there is another company that makes one for cheaper with the same if not better quality. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

If you are using an electric water pump, use the Cloyes 9-3145 double roller. Little clearancing needed on the timing cover, no big deal, and it's $79

 

You could always try to give Jason or Dal a call, they may be able to get it for you a little cheaper. I lucked out, I just snagged a whole LT4 timing set last week for 50 bucks with very little miles on it.

 

Which cam are you using? I am just going to use a new stock set.

 

electric pump and the cloyes double roller!!! no exceptions...(unlike me)

 

I wasnt gonna do an electric waterpump, but it would come out cheaper to do an electric w/p and a double roller.

 

I say elec. w/p and true double roller. If not just get a new chain from Thunder Racing and use the stock sprockets. You could also get the oversized sprocket while your at it to help with the timing chain slack.

 

u will more than likely come about maybe just a little cheaper with an electric and true double roller. CSI/CSR pumps used to be carried by summit 4 130ish+ 79.00 4 the timing chain= 210 total

 

I will probably do that. Thanks for the info.
