    Put it on eBay- someone will want it.

    FWIW I had one 88" that I purchased that had died and been abandoned for 15 years or so. When I took it apart I found that the pad that the chain wins on had come loose and gotten stuck in the sprocket for the cam- it bound up and sheared the end off the cam. Sort of an odd failure and one a kit like this might prevent. However a failure like that is pretty odd IMHO.

    The 300 cid Ford used composite gears on the cam on most of their applications. They were not known for lasting long, but were quiet. The replacment aluminum gear was a "singer" but a little noise is a Concern?
