PAW sells a PAW-brand double roller timing chain for roller cam equipped SBC's.
If you're on a budget, that may be something you'd want to check out.
I don't have my catalogue handy, but if you want a part # and price, just ask and I'll get off my fat butt.
PAW also lists a bunch of roller cam timing chains, unlike Summit, who aparently has forgotten that roller SBC's need timing chains, too.

I'd look into Cloyes also. I use Comp Cams though.

Yup. They should sit under the stock cover no problem.

They'll clear the stock cover but some double roller timing chains will rub on the block on the top oil plug casting near the cam. I had this problem on my Summit double roller timing chain...no biggie, just grind the block casting with a dremel just enough to clear. Be careful with the shaving getting in the motor. Just be sure to check it or the chain will bind up and fail early.
