Shorter crank hub....
I put a double roller timing chain on my '96 and because of the extra sprocket I'm going to have belt alignment issues so I need a shorter crank hub. Where could I get one? Any links? Thanks!

The earlier stock hubs will be even longer, I think you will need to get yours machined Mike. Assuming the crank gear is thicker doesn't that change the alignment for the crank position reluctor as well?

The f-bodies used a different damper on the same crank hub because they used a different accessory setup. I'm not sure if the f-body is closer or further from the front of the engine, but simply swapping to the f-body damper *might* get it closer (but I've never compared them side by side).

When you go to a double roller on a '96 you have to delete the crankshaft reluctor ring and then reuse the stock hub.
You will need to have the PCM reflashed otherwise you will get the SES light and various codes associated with the Crankshaft Position Sensor. If your state performs an OBD II emisions check, the car will fail unless the reflash is performed (although some states will still pass it if it passes a sniffer test).
