IIRC the timing chain is the same as one of the other AMC engines, maybe the old 195.6? Anyway, it should be readily available. Will cost as much as the engine though... ;>

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.
