Yeah, I know. I was just going into more detail because we don't know whether it's a "tall" engine or whether someone put a 96 link chain in a "short" engine. Depending on how it was installed, I'll bet that a later model engine with a 96 link chain would run -- probably quite well though the cam might advance a little at higher rpm. Might be a tad noisy, too.

My wag is that if he's got an early block that he won't be able to get the 94 link chain on it as it's about 1/2 shorter than the 96. But, I've never tried such a thing. So, I think the first step for him to sort out this issue is to make an accurate determination of what engine he has.

I apologize if I gave the impression that I was trying to correct anything you wrote -- I wasn't.
