Cam button / stock timing chain cover

And there our opinions differ which is fine and good for the sport. Going on 48 years of using good timing chains and as happy as can be. My last 422 ran the same et after five years of abuse. I have kicked around the idea of a belt drive but so far price has gotten me over it.

The price for a belt or gear drive is a killer. For some, it’s hard to justify 800 bucks for a gear drive when a chain is what? $120.00??

Or $1300.00 for a belt drive. Dayum. That’s big block prices.
