Thanks,
Sprockets and chains are probably fine.
What years is the motor? I ask because the '74-77 2.7's are rarely a "split the case, replace the bearings" situation. As soon as you unbolt the case halves on those motors they more or less go "boing" (hands making motions of case halves warping in different directions).
