Need Timing chain!
I've decided to buy a new timing set for my car but I can't seem to find a deal.I checked with autozone and they have 1 for under a hundred dollars but in order for me to use it i would have to buy 95 lt1 parts to make it work.So do anybody know where i could get a expensive timing set for a 94 lt1?One last question...... I dont have a engine hoist so how can i lift the engine?

Ok, word of advice to you guys. Don't even bother trying to get the parts thru autozone. I know the book says they fit but they won't. I ordered 4 sets trying to get the right one. The one the computer says is for a regular SBC. Then we went to the Cloyles book and tried- we ordered all 3 different ones it lists and not a single one has the center section for the opti drive.
Tony is right- just do it right, save the headache and get it from Summit or Jegs..

comp cams wants like 300 for one of theirs but u can get a lunati one for 180 i think. or gmpp is 250. oh and instead of lifting the engine, why not drop it? its not hard just jack up the car and undo the shock tower bolts and a few more and the whole engine cradle lowers, do a search on cz28.com for more info on that.

You are right, the pan does need to be loosened, but you can go it without pullin the motor mount bolts- I have done it just in case anyone here wants to argue.
And matt, you can get a chain, but like was said, if you are going thru the hassle anyway, why not just get the gears and do it all at once?
