Not Ranked
A couple of other things I would like input on if anyone would.
One is about gear drive timing sets vs. double roller chains. I have three choices in this department as I see it.
1: Use the double roller set out of my 351 which only has about 2,000 miles on it.
2: buy a new double roller set
3: buy a good gear drive set-up
Any indeas out there on these choices? Obviously using my existing low milage set will save me noney but I am very attracted to the "idea" of a gear drive set and it's inherent added accuracy.
I would love to hear some opinions on gear drives vs chain and whether it would be just plain stupid to put in the old (2,000 miles) set from my 351 or not.
The other item is whether it would be smarter for me to have the cam and roller rockers installed by a pro mechanic (since this is my first build and I'd hate to do something wrong) and since there are several special tools I would have to buy to do it myself that I would only use once and then thats it. So the cost of a pro to come over and help with this part of the build wpuld be offset to some degree by my not having to buy all those special use items.
I do have a lot of reference material/books/articles/DVD on HOW to do it and could probably be OK just by following those methods carefully, but?
Any input on these items would help me make an informed decision.
Thanks, Don
