Will be doing a cam swap (similar to the cc503) in the future and im planning on changing the timing chain. Do you need to make any changes to allow the lt1 to accept a double roller. Also will any sbc chain from comp cams work?

 

Have E-WP and 95+ Cover/Opti. You'll probably have to grind the cover a bit to get it to run without rubbing. Cloyes Double True Roller > Comp Cams

Okay. But will any SBC chain work for the LT1 or is there a special one?

 

Any one should work as long as it's for a factory roller motor and you have an electric waterpump and a '95+ Opti as stated above. I have a Rollmaster billet double roller timing set and I had to clearance/grind the cover to make room for it.

 

Well my car is a 95 so yes on the opti but i don't have an electric water pump. Just wondering but was there a lt1 that came stock with an e-wp.

 

No, no cars come with E-WP's. You must buy one and pull the guts out of your stocker and bolt on the electric one. Cheap 10rwhp.

No. I don't know of any car coming with one, but then again I'm not all that knowlegable when it comes to euro-imports.
