if your going to use chains for reduction, the chain profile you should be
looking for is for a blower or marine application. these are as close to
what is needed as you can get.
marine is max load at all times as is a blower drive(after all whats our
prop).
you will find that the hp rating for a given chain or gears or belt used
under these conditions is derated, i cant remember how much as these things
keep changing and ive been out of this kind of use for quite a while.

ford v-6

Marks's does not list Marine per se. The closest they have is Dredges.
In that case the service factor is 2.1. Less than half the 30 or so HP 
mentioned in my previous message.

If you can find a HYVO chain in an over the road tractor transmission 
as in tractor-trailer truck I will buy what ever width they 
choose for that.
