Ok. Thanks. I already bought the new timing gear and am read to install it.

Ha..Sounds good. So you say that I can use a noisy timing gear from a 460 if I grind off the nipple on the one side and grind down the inside of the timing cover?

I wouldn't buy pistons or anything for that matter from China when I can get parts from the USA. I don't care how much they cost. There is no comparison to made in the USA products. In my opinion you get what you pay for when it comes to high quality auto parts.

Does anyone have this correct info? I am having custom pistons made an did not measure this before I disassembled the motor. I thought I saw this info in the shop manual but I was wrong.

Thanks!
