Re: Fw: Milodon gear drive in a small block Mopar - need your input

[Gary Pavlovich <glpavlovich@xxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

My intention for installing a gear drive is for the timing stability and 
durability.  I think the HP advantages are approx. 5HP at best.  As far as 
the "sound" is concerned, I don't like a traditional gear drive "whine" but 
would prefer just slightly noticeable at the most.  So, if your experience 
is NO noise then I will be thrilled; that is why the "whine" is a subjective 
feature and a matter of taste.

Can you send me a sound/video of your small block Mopar idling or running so 
I can hear it?

Thank you so much for your help!
Gary

gary, do you want the blower sound or performance? i bought mine used in 
very good condition. i had to call milodon about installing it as it came 
with no instructions. it is NOT that easy. you have to drill a hole in the 
block to mount the bracket. i was bummed when i installed mine after a lot 
of work, fired it up and NO noise. i called them up and that's when they 
told me they don't make noisey ones for small block mopars. they said one 
perp is that the gear drive will give you an extra 20? some horsepower 
because of the no slack in the chain. do what you want but it will not be 
noisey, call them or e-mail them
if you don't believe me.              jeff
