Default Timing chain(Stock/OEM) LT4

Hi,
Chain is still within specs but just barely and I can get away without changing it but it's a high mileage motor so I figured if I can buy a stock chain why not change it. I've checked a few places and all say the chain is no longer available. Are the stock LT4 timing chain no longer available?

Melling PN 3-509SA

SA Gear PN 73128

Clevite PN 9-3804

All 3 listed above are stock replacement chains and use a link style chain. All are listed as stock replacemet for 1996 Corvette LT4 in my books.

Cloyes PN 9-3651X3 will also work fine for stock replacement but uses a single roller style chain and has 3 keyway lower sprocket.
