Car Whines

[headcase]

Hello,

My car has a Gear Drive in it... what does that mean/do

[headcase]

Dont know any of that as the car needs to get down here from the US. I just got told it has a gear drive in it and its not the steering pump thats making the sound.

So why would someone use a gear drive instead of a timing chain?

Is that a more race application thing and/or does the Geardrive have any advantages over a traditional chain or is it a cheaper thing with no positives over a chain?

Wait..

All I do know is it is a 351 Cleveland, has a 2500 or 3000rpm stall (not sure) and has more hp than a stock 351hp as its worked, how much? 20-50-100hp more, I do not know.

It was the cool thing to do in the 90's, some are louder than others. Not sure about the benefits/disadvantages.

Here you go.

No timing chain to strectch or break. I had one and liked it. Sort of like a blower whine.

Who is it that looks these cars over for you when you buy them? Asking this type of thing after your check has cleared sounds like a recipe for another car disaster.

It appears that he got the car from RK here in Charlotte, NC.
