Re: [FWDLK] Timing gears chain set??

Your A series (277, 301, 303, early 318, 326) Poly engine uses the same timing chain & gear set as the LA series (late 318, 340, 360). You can get a good roller set from Mopar Performance.

This same set also fits early Hemi/Poly Dodges and Chrysler 354 and 392. And probably DeSoto too.

Subject: [FWDLK] Timing gears chain set??

Setting up my new V800 in my 57 Plymouth...

(Thanks to Gary for the cam and lifters, and Ed for the repop of the brackets on the intake and the book I got from the victory library for all the help!)

Adding a Flo-Kooler cast iron Hi-volume water pump with high flow fan and a summit fuel pump, but also need to think about a Timing gear & chain set??

Fresh build so what I have (stock chain and sprockets) are newer, are they like lifters and should be replaced anyway??, will need a new gasket seal set, and am wondering should I upgrade and if so to what?

And from where? summit has a few options at good prices... any ideas??

Am I forgetting anything before I put it back together???

Any tips on the linkage for the two AFB's on top???

postscript;

I need the support rods for the 57 style air cleaners!

anyone have a two sets to sell or maybe loan one to me so I can fab them up???

Thanks guys!
