Is the Howards #94340 billet timing chain a good unit ? Billet 9 key way . Or should i buy a Cloyes .
For a big block with solid flat tappet cam , street and bracket racing

Pro Gear from Hughes engines is a good set for the money.


The only Carbs I care about are under the hood!

I have a Howards in my 440. I thought it was a good unit for the price. Fit nice and snug, not excessively sloppy like some you get.


1971 Plum Crazy Super Bee. 572 World Aluminum block with a Cope 727 & Dana 4.10 out back. 9.88 @ 138 with a 1.35 60 NA. Dialed back to 10.0’s. 4000 lbs with me in it.

I used the pro gear from Hughes as well. Went great, and the keyways were on the money, have that timing chain set in 2 motors
