Default double timing chain for lt1 with electric water pump

do I need the one for the standard roller cam 350 or will any double roller work? Like even for the old 350 engine?

The old school chevy timing sets will work....Thats what everyone is using. BTW the EWP is mandatory and grinding of the timing cover is also mandatory. The dbl. rolloer rubs the cover just a little bit. So be sure to clearance it.
And Kezy219: The gear to gear would work as well, but if you keep the fuel injection; extra tuning may be necessary to keep the computer from thinking it is valvetrain or bottom end noise and retarding the timing. A LT4 KM might help but ?? I'm not 100% sure.

Good Luck

BTW KEZY, I've been running that Rearend since I put it in and it's still humming, but it's still pulling so I'm not gonna worry about it. Gonna run it till it Grenades... LOL

Yes, you need one for a factory roller cam engine.

I have one that's practically new if you're interested. Cloyes double roller part #9-3145.

^^ Correct, Just go to the parts store and tell them you need a Dbl. Roller Timing Set for a 91 or 92 Z28 with a 5.7L TPI Motor. But you'll need to clearance the timing cover and use an EWP.
