Cool! Sounds like I have a plan....

I see no need to replace the stock cover and all that stuff. GM went through a lot of trouble to eliminate 40 years' worth of of leaks with these new parts, the old stamped covers being a major source of leaks. besides, I've never been a fan of roller chains on otherwise stock or slightly cammed street engines.

Thanks folks!
