Double roller cloyes is an excellent choice if it's available for your engine. Installed a bunch of those, one broke a center link engine was still running happy, chain just made noise, mind you that was after about 90.000 miles, Iloved those chains they saved me a lot of work on Dodge V8's those things loved to jump the cheap aftermarket chains in 30 to 40.000 miles, The cloyes chains would easily go over 100,000 miles

Hesco sells a heavy duty unit with a sprocket set that's adjustable for timing.

the 4.0 fits but you delete the tensioner, same with the Hesco that I'm running.

The single is lighter than the double which helps if you want revs,
but the double helps if you have rad valve springs...

I have the whole valve train setup from hesco, cam, lifters springs, cam, chain and gear set.
Working well so far...

The guy that built my engine did advance the cam, I don't remember how much.
I do remember he said he didn't think he could get away with anymore due to the
factory computers limits and the need to pass smog testing. I have the RVOB version cam.
