I've wondered that myself. Been trying to help out a freind with a '36 ford p.u. All was fine with the sbc that has been in there since the 60's, and he decided to go with a 302 ford. Nothing fits now, and have tried 3 different header set up's. Nothing else seems to work, and that would cure all.Been looking at Speedways Steerclear #845-1000 offset, but a bit hesitant to recomend it. I just haven't talked to anybody that has actually used one. I never will forget opening season at the local dirt track back in '67 watching the green flag drop and seeing a fresh '57 go straight off #1 and through the fence because the chain jumped off. Now I know this can't happen on these store bought units, but that always stuck with me.Would be nice to hear from someone who has used one. Do they steer any different, smooth, etc.
I have been saving Chevy timing gear chains and crankshaft gears with the idea of making my own offset chain drive in the future..they look like the ideal starting material?
You can see the potential with two matching gears...
