345 timing set

[brettsmith]

G'day all, I'm trying to find some straight cut timing gears for my 345, nobody here in australia seems to have them, and I've checked summit, comp cams and jegs sites but still no luck, just wanted to know if there is any other companies/ manufacturer who has these, any help to head me in the right direction would be greatly apreciated, thanks in advance, brett

You knew this was coming.

Why do you want straight cut gears? Anything wrong with the stock timing sets?

Thanks Robert, I was hoping for some positive input rather than having a question answered with a question

I never seen a straight cut gear for the sv engine. And I'm with Robert in wanting to know why you would even want them?

No body makes them for the IH's, there is no purpose for them.

Call a gear house and give them your stock timing set and about $5000.00. I know plenty who will do it but will not give anyone a recommendation who fails to answer a simple question.

The stock timing set is helically cut for quietness. That's it, straight cut will howl and do nothing for you.
