I understand there are metal camshaft gears that will last a lifetime - I had one on a 1975 164-E.

Volvo steel/steel gearsets can be hard to find, and expensive when you do. They also add a fair amount of rotating mass to the motor, and should be lightened for performance applications.

Now I'm using aluminum/steel gearsets made by Cloyes (they make them for UPS trucks and other super-duty use) -- available at NAPA, far cheaper than all steel gears, and lighter than the fibre version.
