Default some question on timing chain and some other stuff

ok ordering my hughes airgap ordering from hughes was going to order a timing chain also due to my milage on the truck http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/p...0&partid=23310

is that a good chain ? anything else i would need?. also would it be a good idea to do performance pullies as i would be taking them off with the belt.i was thinking of bypassing my AC as i never used ac since i got her.

thought or ideas ?

cant wait to do the airgap, havnt done the plenum yet cant wait to get it done for ever and not worry about it !

i'd say that's a very good chain. but it is over twice the price of a plain old Cloyes C-3072.

Looks like a morse type chain to me. (same as stock.)

chain and gears, gasket set, and maybe a water pump if you haven't replaced it in recent memory.

Thermostat?

i bought the mopar double roller and mopar tensioner to install on mine. they seem to be made pretty well. wasnt to expensive either. cannt remember how much they were now. i went ahead and got the tensioner cause if the chain does stretch a little it will stay tight.
