Now I'll ask the dumb question , what's the need for a 3 bolt timing chain with a hyd. cam ... other than you got a smoking deal on a chain set at a swap meet that you couldn't pass up wink .. ????


Its to run the gear drive.

I am building a street motor that sounds like a race motor. Using mostly leftover race engine parts I had from my past 383, 440, and 451 engines.

This one is going to be a 9:1 383, with the whiplash cam, gear drive, a nicely worked set of 906 heads, and an M1 dual 4bbl tunnel ram.

I spoke with Hughes prior to ordering the cam, and per his recommendation I am using the 440 cam grind rather than the 383 cam grind since I plan to use dual 4 tunnel ram.

This is just going to be a cruise to town, Sunday driver, with the occasional trip to the 1/8 mile track for fun "run what you brung" events.
