Gear drive timing set?

On my '81 K20 with a small block GM I had a Pete Jackson gear drive timing set, and I loved the way it sounded. Does anyone make gear drive timing sets for 5.4L engines??

Ummm no. Your small block is a push rod engine, your 5.4 is an OHC engine that uses 2LONG timing chains compared to your SBC. Not really possible.

Aha, I did not know this about the 5.4L. Thanks for the insight, and as unfortunate as it is, I guess it can't be done.

I agree with the sound. ( like a blower sleeper )

However not the same engine.
