Double roller chains on 2001 block/cam

Is there a double roller timing chain setup that fits the 2001 cam and block with retainer plate?
Or do I have to use an early or aftermarket cam with the older style spring and button?
Mopar P5249519 fits 1983-98
Cloyes 9-3127 fits 1964-93 or 87-98
Rollmaster CS7100 no app data
JP Performance JP5629 no app data

Thanks!

Walt

I have not been able to find one. I did opt for a Melling OEM equivilent p/n 3-3855B Timing Chain Kit.

There is no double roller for the later cam design.

Thanks guys!
The original chain had quite a bit of slack after only 107k miles. Would've liked to replace it with something better.
If I decide to change cams, then I'll go with a roller chain...

I don't know that you can use the older design camshaft with that block (Thrust Plate) to enable you to use a double roller timing chain. Let us know how that works out or perhaps someone can tell me different and then I will :doh: for not going that way as well.

You can use an earlier cam shaft in the later blocks. Just remove the thrust plate and use and earlier timing set, cam bolt, spring and pin. I do recommend replacing the spring with a solid pin and setting the cam thrust manually.

:doh:

Well I am hopeful that the OEM timing chain set up will be sufficient for my "Modified Poor Man's" 4.6L STROKER using stock camshaft and head.
