Any help would be appreciated, I got a 1975 (447-121558) barn find, I'm doing a complete rebuild of the engine,bottom end done.
Now I'm in the process of putting the top end together, Here's where i go down the rabbit hole, the cam that was in the engine when i tore it down was shot, so i had to get a replacement, my connecting rods are stamped 447 so i logically figure i have a 447 engine so i find a 447 cam that's in perfect condition, so I'm ready to install the cam and notice that my old cam has 34 teeth and the new one has 36....OK so i have a new cam chain from Mikesxs that is for a 36 tooth cam but it won't go on, it seems like it doesn't fit the teeth on the cam....I'm getting dizzy just writing this....also are the crankshaft cam gears all the same?
