Assuming you are buying a NEW chain...
You can order an LS1 chain, an LS2 chain, or an LQ9 chain. The chain you will receive will be the same identical one no matter which of the 3 you asked for. The "beefed up" chain that first appeared on the LS2 is now the stock replacement part for all Gen3 engines.
If you are asking about using a takeoff chain from a stock LQ9 engine? No, I wouldn't. You can get the brand-new replacement chain for like $40, and the timing chain is certainly not the piece to skimp on.

It's not a knock-off chain. It is actually a brand new chain off of a LQ9 crate engine the guy didn't use
I'm not going to skimp on ANY of the pieces.
Going with ported HP pump, hardened pushrods and looking for a good timing chain. (Cams going to be custom ground as well
