Hi, how ya guys doin.
I just bought myself a pretty nice very solid 71 Chevelle and it came with a 402Big block with a Gear Drive in it.
After driving it home for 8 hours STRAIGHT it drove me nuts..
I need to get that thing out of there, from what the guy told me it is a dual idler gear design.
I have never done this sort of thing before and i have no idea how to go about it.
Money is tight about now so i cant afford to have someone do it for me, besides that wouldnt get me any wrenching experience.
I was planning on throwing a double roller style chain on there just to quiet things up a bit.
So what I need help with is 3 things actually,
One How hard is it for a novice with no motor building skills to do this sort of thing?
Two, Say i had 2-3 people helping me out with it, how long would it take me to actually do the swap? This is my daily driver for the summer and I obviously need it right away.
Three What type of chain would you suggest, i would want to stay under $100 but I want a high quality unit.
