Dude, a gear drive is that last thing you need to worry about. Get that piece of shit running right before you spend money on stuff that won't make much of a difference! The carb is your first and foremost concern. The rest can follow.

To answer the question, a gear drive is no harder to install than a normal timing chain. Remove the fan shroud, fan, probably a few accesories, water pump, crank pulley, harmonic damper, and then the timing cover. 3 bolts (if I remember right) on the cam and the old gears slide off.

I dont know if your car is computer controled or not but I had problems with mine when I ran a Pete Jackson noisy gear drive with false knock readings.
