Hemi gear drives question.....

I have an early stage 10 KB block with a raised cam. I'm trying to get the gear drive sorted out to fit this block.
I have a KB raised cam gear drive but its missing the crank and cam gears.

My question is will the gears from a standard position gear drive fit the raised cover? I'm wondering if the difference between the two is simply a repositioned and larger idler gear?

If the gears from a standard position gear drive will fit they are readily available, but I dont want to buy them and find that they dont fit.

Thanks.

The KB and Casale gears for the standard cam gear drive and raised cam gear drive are all the same, for the most part. If you have a cam gear and crank gear from a standard gear drive, they should fit with the raised cam cover. The idler gear is moved in toward the center to make up the difference with the raised cam cover.

I have most parts IN STOCK that you might need.

Thats exactly what I needed to know. Much appreciated.

 

thanks Robert that was something I wanted to know..now have some sparesa..Dave

 

hi robert, what about a raised cam gear drive for a bae billet block? are they the same crank and cam gear, and you just need a raised cam cover? thx

 

Yes, but some of the early stuff is shaky.

Call me with the stuff in hand, and I'll help you I.D. the parts.
