Looking for a double roller for a slant 6

FWIW, the chain and the crank gear is the same as a B/RB. For some reason the slant double roller cam gear is available separately. The big block chain and gears and a slant cam gear costs less than a slant setup. Go figure.

i think its the chain and upper gear thats different...

On a related subject......has anyone ever lost a chain in a slant 6?? I've been playing with these things for over 40 years now and have NEVER seen a broken chain or one that has skipped. I've had ones so loose they hit the timing cover and caused the ignition timing to vary almost 30 degrees but they still worked. Maybe I've just led a sheltered life...... :-)

well i first installed a double row autozone chain in my slant and when i broke a ring (6k miles) the chain was wore out... so for how much of a pain in the a** it is to tear the front of the engine down and gaskets i would rather spend 120 bucks on a roller and never mess with it again...
