Easy peasy to drill and tap that hole while you have it apart. I haven’t seen one yet with just one hole drilled. They are usually both or nothing. Buy the dog bone style (1 piece plastic) damper and use it for the template.

Ya tell me about it who the hell only drills 1 hole. What size and pitch are the bolts. I assume that the crank sprocket and the cam sprocket have to be installed before lining up the damper to assure that it’s In The correct spot.

First, get a damper AND the bolts that attach it. Guess what? You now have the size and pitch of the bolt.
Then get an LS2 chain and call it good.
