Gotta question on a Dart block-the NHRA legal replacement legal in Stock. I had all the machine work done at Tri City in Vista,(a stellular enterprise if there ever was one,thanks Gregg),installed the cam, assembled the short block, and the cam lobes don't line up with the lifter bores with the chain set I used. It's the same chain set for a factory 327 or 350 block of that age. Does the Dart block require a different roller chain set, also I noticed provisions for a front thrust plate for the OEM later steel roller cams. Is there a later chain set with a different offset or something that would make this work? Just thought I'd ask.
