Default 2004 GMC vs Chevy lq4 differences?

I got my engine out of a GMC savana but forgot and thought it was a chevy so all my engine parts have been ordered for an express instead of a savana.

Now this shouldn't matter. But.
Why does the 04 savana list Cloyes C3220 as it's timing chain kit. But the 04 express lists Cloyes C3210

Needles to say now i wonder if all my parts are different? I'm confused lol. Will the 3210 I ordered work? Seems to fit fine.

The timing sets are essentially the same units, the differences being the cam sprocket material. The 3210 is an iron cam sprocket, while the 3220 is a steel cam sprocket. Both have billet steel crank sprockets.

K so who cares when everything is stock

It is odd that gmc lists a different one then the chevy.

The only real differences would be in the year it was manufactured, not the brand of vehicle. Those vans came off the same line with only trim pieces deciding which one it was.
The cam sprocket material might have been a running change. but they're totally interchangeable regardless.

Its a mid year 2004. I ordered everything for a 2004 chevy. But if you go to gm, or any parts book and look at 2004 for both. They both show different ones.

Not arguing the fact it will work, just saying it's odd both being 04 have a different set listed when they are the same chassis

GMC's are REAL trucks...Chevys are just rebadged cars...
