You can only get an ls2 timing chain, it is the replacement part number for ls1 and ls6 motors. The chain is quite beefy for a single roller chain. SHould hold up pretty well to a good sized cam. I have an ls2 timing chain on my f13 but many people use them on much larger cams too. If youre looking into a rediculous sized cam look into double roller.
