Question Will a Cloyes timing set fit my 95z?

I read somewhere that i would need a different timing cover? But im not sure. Im putting in a cc503 , gmp 1.6 rr, cc hardened push rods, beehive springs.

But I also want to change the stock timing chain. If this does need a different cover is there anything that will fit right in?

Thanks

im not aware of an aftermarket cover for the LT1, you may need to clearence it however.

You would also have to run an electric water pump.

You could use that. A stock set will also work.

A few of my friends put Cloyes timing sets in their cars and had no problem. I put the Comp Cam in mine when i had my cam put in. No problems with that one either.

The cloyes and the electric water pump are not much more. I paid less than $100 for my cloyes double roller set. A csr ewp is $180 shiped on ebay. All I had to do was have the crank shaft sensor tuned out, install the ewp and freeze plug the water pump hole in the cover. I did no clearance on the cover. The lt4 extreme duty is $250. The cloyes double chain is stronger and you will gain about 10hp at the tires from the ewp.

i actually have the cloyes double roller set on my car. You need/i used an ewp, 95'-97' timing cover{might need minor clearancing} w/crank position sensor(wont be hooked up just fills hole in cover), 95'-97' cam(dowel pin is different), and a 95'-97' opti
