LA 318- Timing Chain Recomm and Timing Cover

[runwhatyabrung]

Hey Moparheads...

Need some quick advice!

Looking for a good source for timing cover for LA318 not the Poly Motor.

Also... Best timing chain for Street use... Just to replace old chain... Motor is basically stock- lil head work.

Just trying to get a newly aquired car on the road.

Thanks!

I used a Cloyes C3028X chain and Cloyes 9-5387chain tensioner on mine. I used a Magnum timing cover since I am going with a serpentine belt drive. Make sure if you use a double roller chain, that you go with .250" diameter rollers and the rollers are solid, not split. The above chain part number is such a chain.

Mancini racing has the timing covers for about $80
