What do you guys recommend for a chain? Time to rebuild and like to know what every one uses.

What kind of cam will you be running and what will your valve spring pressures be? Anything up to about 400 hp you can use a Summit double roller, anything more radical then that and you would be better served with a Cloyes double roller.
Don't forget to drop in a MP cam chain tensioner while you're at it.

Running the MoPar 508 cam, Edelbrock RPM heads. The Cloyes was what I was running. I would run that again. Very good chain. Just wondering if their are any better ones.

You really can't do any better than a Cloyes Billet. I wish they made the hex-adjust for us Mopar guys though.

EDELBROCK HEADS SUCK!
A Cloyes tru-roller went 344,000 miles in a 390 Ford, and was still pretty tight, cant go wrong.

Cloyes never failed me, or wore out.

this is just a thought.. if u spend a day degreeing the cam.. u wont use a rattling std aftermarket timingchain that will stretch to the moon and back within a few miles.. we are in the 21st century now.. buy billet and add the v6 tentioner with it.. then u can take it with u to the next engine when this one gave up.
