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.
If its a roller cam it should be centered a flat tappet cam some times is located to the rear of the bore.
