How about a single chain from the crankshaft to the camshaft and find 
another way to turn the oil pump and distributor? I believe the one 
supercharged car (who owns that car?) has crank triggered ignition and a 
dry sump oil pump. How hard would it be to implement both of those with a 
single chain? And would gears from an L-series be usable or adaptable, 
since they must already have the proper crankshaft gear to camshaft gear ratio?
