Best advice on gear drives...... take it off your wish list. If you just like the whine sound of the drives, save you money and buy a blower. Sounds much better and actually boosts performance as well. If you already have the blower, then you really don't need anything else.....except lots of money for gas.

Last spring my brother installed a Procomp gear drive in his 396. 100 miles later I got to disassemble the engine to find the needle bearings started coming out of the idler gears and one made it through the oil pump screen and into the pump, the oil pump locked up and busted off gears on the cam, bent the dist shaft.
We have a Cloyes true roller in it now.I ain't never had to much fun but I keep trying.
