Stupid timing chain factoid

Don't understand. Are you saying the timing sets are the same for slant 6 and big block? They are not. The camshaft sprockets are totally different.
Seems to me in the back of my mind PART of the slant drive fits something else, don't remember if chain or one sprocket, etc........

EDIT found this...........

Slant 6 / Small Block V-8 Parts Interchange - Slant Six Forum

Small block parts that can be adapted to a slant include solid lifters, valve springs (check installed height), rod bolts, main bearing bolts (make sure they don't block oil passages). The crank snout is the same size as a small block or a big block so balancers can be adapted but may require some machining. The lower timing sprocket is the same as a big block as is the timing chain. The cam sprocket looks similar but has a different offset.
