There is no gear cutting required. The tach gear on a s/c engine is counter bored. The nut is also different and is longer with a step to fit in the counter bore of the gear.

I’ve used both the Ramsey standard and supercharged chains and driven the cars and never had a problem.
Thanks Cliff. My information comes from Henry Portz conversation long ago. I have no evidence what he told me was truth. This is one of the few things I can only say... "I heard something about that"....

many years. Or you can contact Ramsey and have them make your chain length for you. Last I knew it was about $300.00.

As for the timing gears n chain. They are very different. The FB non supercharged engine has 1/ 1/4 inch x1/2 inch pitch gears and chain. It "can" be used on the FC supercharged engines but I would not do that. The FC engine chain n gears are 1 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch pitch and REQUIRE a deeper timing chain cover. Both engines used the vintage Whitney timing chains that are long gone.
