We have several Cloyes Billet Timing sets that would do the job. Each one of these sets comes with their Extreme Duty Z chain and the main difference is timing adjustability. The options are Hex-A-Just, 9 Keyway or 3 Keyway and will be reliable in your application.

The GM heavy duty replacement chain is what I used, looked a lot thicker than the pathetic stock bicycle chain I removed...I think a quality single roller is fine, the above mentioned sets are nice. If you are doing it on a budget the N-Motion set is nice as well. Had I known about the N-motion set when I did my swap, that is the route I would have gone and will if I ever have to pull the timing cover again.

oh forgot to say, add an ATI super damper to your list... not being able to control the engine harmonics breaks chains, and use a chain damper to control slack and slap...
that will be a solid setup and will help keep your crank alive too, assuming your stock.
my 2 cents
