I kinda think the answer is in your question. Putting aside pulling the engine and testing the block before rebuilding/refreshing - something you said you didn't really want to do, which I get - the easy solution is check and resurface the heads, if they're good, get a new set of head gaskets...

B... lip down.

depends on the QA1 k-member, but the 52315 is supposed to take stock LCA. Easy button is call QA1... they're crazy helpful. Nevertheless, Proforged fits stock, it - technically - should fit the 52315 QA1 k mamber

just out of curiosity, are you suggesting alum reduces cr?

I have a 67 Coronet 440 and both door cards are trashed. However, I can only find new cards for a 500 and in some cases an R/T, but no 440. Question #1 - Are the 440 and 500 cards the same? Question #2 - If No, anyone have maroon/red cards for a 440?

At the most basic level... knowing there are other things to consider... more air allows more fuel, and the more air/fuel permitted creates more HP. At the end of the day, that's it.

Ok - that's a lot. Curious, what is the light on the 6AL doing when it fires and then stops?

boom...

One word... aftermarket. It is WAY cheaper and WAY easier to make a high powered Chevy, especially the LS... than a Mopar. And the options for a Chevy are 1000 to 1. to Mopar. No comparison at all. But is that because of design or sheer number, availability, and cost? If design, then I say Mopar...

100% agree... hence my point about Mopar stock heads... they dropped the ball there. And yes, now with Indy, TF... it's a game changer. But the other points... you have to agree with :)

Thanks for sharing that. Helpful information. I was aware of a few changes from 66 to 67, but I completely missed that.

Something has been bugging me, so I'm going to put it out there. When I look at 440 RB, at least from 66-71, I see it as superior to the chevy BB - like a 454 - from the same timeframe. Ok, granted the stock Mopar heads, compared to a 454 Chevy BB, were slightly smaller (less flow), but a lot...

Well I'll be... I didn't know they came with column shifters... crazy.

wait... I thought all first gen chargers were floor/console shifters. what engine is in it?

ouch.. rip. put eyes on the converter too... try to turn it (it shouldn't spin) and check if you can see one of the bolts.
