Change hub to run cloyes dbl roller on 97 LT1??
I have searched all over but have not found a difinitive opinion on this.
If I am going to be running a cloyes double roller timing chain and electric water pump on my 97 LT1, will I need to change the crank hub or can I use the stock one that came off the engine?
As others have noted, I will be removing the crank position sensor reluctor and having it programmed out along with other required tuning. I am aware of all the cover clearancing, WP drive hole sealing, etc.
Is there anything special about installing the hub in this configuration?
Thanks for the info.

Measure the difference between the combination of your old crank gear and reluctor vs. the Cloyes gear. Shim between the gear and the hub as necessary to make up the difference, so you can use your existing hub.

Unless you shim it for the difference, you cannot reuse your hub. The 96/97 hub is most definitely shorter. Put that on w/o shimming it and you will be throwing belts.
I just purchased a used hub off a 93-95 car off of here for cheap when I did my conversion.

If I keep reluctor, can I keep a functioning CPS?
So if I am able to use the reluctor wheel as a spacer to locate my exixting 97 hub correctly on the crank snout, does that mean I can keep a funcioning crank position sensor or do I still have to have that feature programmed out by the folks at PCMforless? I though I had to get rid of the CPS as soon as I switched to the Cloyes double roller chain setup?
If I am able to keep the reluctor wheel and use it as a spacer, that would seem to mean that the crank sprocket for the double roller is the same thickness as the crank sprocket from the original setup. Am I understanding correctly?
Thanks for all the responses.

I believe this is the p/n - CLO-9-3157. It's for 96-02 Gen 1 Vortec truck engines. Call Cloyes to verify.

Not to confuse anyone but i heard you cannot use the crank sensor with the double roller timing chain because the actual sensor would interfere with the sensor it's self.
I personally would like to keep it in thats why i asked if i could use the double roller with the sensor & ring.
