Can anyone recomend a good timing gear and chain without breaking the bank. I have an antifreeze leak around my timing cover and figure I may as well change the gear while I am replacing the gasket from cover to block. Thanks.

Some of the mo spensive (joke) are upwards to $200 in JEGS. I'm sure there full on race, the Jesels were like a grand! But anyhow, thanks for the link dude. Want a good strong one ya know.

go to your parts store and get the cloytes or TRW gear set. Lifetime Warranty and you have a local store to back your warranty.

cloyes doube roller is the way to go, alot of other chains are reboxed cloyes pieces anyways.

doesnt look your pushing 700 horsepower a stock replacement chain will do you just fine.

agreed I just picked one up from autozone

a stock replacement chain is pretty worthless, you gotta be pretty damn cheap to not wanna spend 40 bucks on a decent piece

The Cloyes are what I was looking for, something a bit better than stock, but not out of budget. Thanks for the link, although it is for pre 1988 5.0, it gives me something to compare. First time changing this part, the Summit add states "thrust bearing not included" and "offset bushings not included". Will I need these parts?

no, no, and i dont know why that gear and chain wouldnt work on anything post-88 either, you should be just fine with that chain.
