You've got a timing belt? If you've got a Jesel Belt Drive, keep it. If that was a typo, read on.

Gear drive rocks. It ensures a precise relationship between the pistons and the valves. Edlebrock has a set (Accu-Drive, part #7893) that sells for less than $225, and fits underneath your stock timing cover. Very cool deal.

Take care

HEY !!! Are you ASE Certified ??? If you are, ask me about iATN. The best tool you'll ever have, and it's free !!!

Pete Jackson also makes one that is pretty good. My friend has one on a n/a 460 Ford Pulling truck with straight UP open headers and you can here the gear drive above the headers when your sitting in the truck. Its freakin awesome. I would have to agree with PKRWUD though, If you have a Jesel Keep it.

I am thinking of Gear Drive though.

Heard a Late model GM this past weekend with it and it did sound sweet."For being a GM"

I've got a dual timing chain......one of top 3 in my book, close to Jesel and gear drive. Gear drives are awesome - they sound cool too!

i heard gear drives can set off the knock sensor. is this true? or can i drop one in my almost stock motor?

thanks

No problem... 5.0L Fords don't have a knock sensor.

I have the Pete Jackson "quiet" gear drive on mine. It was easy to install, I just had to grind on the back of the timing cover a little.
