It's a copy. Definitely not as high quality. functionality is decent - The first block I had it on I had no issues - the next one had been line bored one too many times and I had trouble with the seals. It does have a dipstick provision which can be a plus - worked great with the Canton pan - didn't work with the Billet Fab pan, but I just stuck a plug in it. It doesn't have the plate behind the top gear that allows you to change the cam without pulling the cover. I had it on a 523 that broke a rod bolt... When I put together the 598 I have now I sprung for the Danny Bee, which is a much nicer piece - but with a much less attractive price. Both give you adjustable cam timing - (which really makes it easy to degree a cam), a torrington style needle bearing thrust plate, and the other benefits of belt vs chain. If I had to buy a new one I would buy the Danny Bee, If budget was an issue and I wanted a belt drive I wouldn't hesitate to use another AMP providing I didn't have an old block that had the mains line honed a couple of times.
While tring to figure out the leak issue I thought it was the cover - so this one has an extra cover and belt. One cover has the o ring grooves filled in so you can use a gasket - the o rings did not line up with the Meziere water pump - the Danny Bee I have uses gaskets, but I think you may be able to get them grooved for o rings. I think that about covers it.

do you still have the AMP belt drive?

Yes I do.

If none of these guys are serious, let me know
