440 ci ls engine timing chain
Im building a 440 ci ls engine 12.5 to compression brodex br7 heads with jessel shaft rockers. the open spring pressure is 610. using a comp cams solid 730 lift cam. max rpm 8000. I cant see the factory single roller timing chain being able to handle this kind of abuse. Would a cs 1175 rollmaster chain be the chain to use or is there a better choice. I know a jessel belt drive would be optimal but im not willing to drop 1600 for a chain.

You can cut a man's tongue from his mouth, but that does not mean he’s a liar, it just shows that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Sorry, I thought he was talking Mopar 440.
