287 T chain

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I'm thinking of it.
I have a 287 I paid $50 for and I think it needs a timing chain.
It's only got 60,000 miles on it though so I'm not sure the best way to check that without pulling the cover.
Anyway. Is there a dirt cheap timing chain available for this engine? I paid $50 for it, My plan is to drop it in the Convertible and get it running so the car is moveable. Leave it in place while I do the body work. Then  I will change it over to the 327 turbo 400 later. That way if I sandblast and get anything in th engine or overspray ETC; It won't be on the good engine.
Plus I will then know if it is a good engine and I can resell it or Junk it if it is not.
