is the gear drive going to make too much noise for the know sensor on a built 350? thanks in advance for any help...

 

Plenty of people have successfully run knock sensors on engines with gear drives. Notables include moderators Wille and Madmax, and i think Tim Burgess too for some reason.

 

thanks ed have you had this experiance yourself and did you see or has anyone else seen a better result?

 

Well like Ed said, I'm using one. No false knock problems. I am beginning to think the engine is filled with leprechauns(based on other bad things I shouldnt have done), but other people (like Willie) also are running the same gear drive without problems. Pete Jackson 'Quiet' drive.

I have to ask... what do you want to run a gear drive for?

 

350 .060 over flat top pistons etec 202 heads comp cam 268 .515 .520. al comp roller

i built this motor about 4 years ago except for the heads where a little older style, and i was very happy with the results. i just wanted to change it aup a little
