Low buck 360 build

hmmm. Ok maybe I'll give it a check with the degree wheel.
Here's your situation. The camshaft is one make. The timing set is another. If you use the same make chain set as the camshaft, you're lessening your chances of being off by a large amount........USUALY. This is also why I always recommend a high end timing set. Camshaft timing is THAT important to how an engine performs. Imagine if you check it you find it's 6 degrees retarded, for instance......from zero. That's probably TEN degrees retarded from where it should be, because it's "probably" supposed to be at 4* advanced. It's worth spending 100 bucks on a GOOD billet timing set and if it's not to you, then just throw the motor in the ditch. Cutting corners on camshaft timing is just not acceptable for the performance of a supposedly "performance" build, whether it's budget or not. You know me.......I hardly have money fallin outta my asshole, to quote Darnell, but I'll find a way to use good parts where they should be.
