Question about gear drive ????


Has anyone used gear drive for the valve-train in place of a timming chain and 5.0 ??

I have a 89 302 motor that I would like to run gear drive on for the time being. I know somw hate that gear wine but I always kinda liked it and would like to run it on my motor...

Gear drives suck. Stick with the chain set up. Gear drives transfer a ton of harmonics from the crank to the valve train.
