Timing Chain?
Hope someone can help me with this one. I'm going through my motor again and want to upgrade to a billet dual roller chain. My car/engine is a 92 LT1, I've upgraded to the later timing cover and Optispark. I'm also going to install an electric waterpump. Will a chain designed for the factory roller cam small blocks work? I'm leaning towards one of the Cloyes chains with a multiple keyway crank gear. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, as long as you have the pin drive opti, and use an elect water pump you can upgrade and use any chain for the 1986 and up small nose cam.
Cloyes PN 9-3545X9 (billet steel gears)
Cloyes PN 9-3145
Also I don't know how much money you want to spend but Rollmaster (Austrailian company) makes the finest billet steel gear chain available. They use swiss IWS chains and offer the option of having both gears nitrided.

CS 1030 (nitrided billet steel gears)
I've used both companies and they both sell a great prouduct.
