And this is for a complete timing set (crank and cam gears and a 
chain).  Moss sells an adjustable cam gear (only) for $491.99; though it 
does look like it might have more adjustment available. Moss's regular 
cam and crank gears and 'upgraded' chain come to $175.97 (their 
'regular' chain was $11.49--hmmmm).  It was a no-brainer for me to get 
the Rollmaster.  My engine builder said they use RM in a lot of their 
builds.

Shipping from Down Under was about $85, though, IIRC.
