I built a 383 using a late model block, had to grind it in that area to use the double roller chain.

You can`t go by the picture. I`ve built several Vortec engines so I know what they use.
http://www.jegs.com/i/Cloyes/220/9-3157/10002/-1 This is from Jegs and the part number is the same as the one at Northern. http://www.northernautoparts.com/Pro...tModelId=19299 The 3157 is the more expensive model, the 1157 is the less expensive model and works just the same: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CLO-9-1157 Last edited by DoubleVision; 03-14-2010 at 12:25 PM.
