Please continue to post your steps throughout the rebuild.
I am in the process of gathering parts for a mild street 440 for my 64 Belvedere wagon, backed by a 67+ TF and later 8 3/4 w/ 3:55 Sure Grip, which I already have. Nothing like starting backwards.

Thanks guys for the positive feedback, good to know I'm not doing it wrong.
But I would like your opinion on something.......... I am putting a edelbrock water pump which I am putting in the engine but should I go with the "original water pump housing" or a "Mopar Performance Aluminum Housing".
The original one is in great condition and after I bead blast it and paint it it will look great (and its free). Or is it worth getting the Mopar Performance one which is aluminum but it costs $180.
I am leaning towards the original one.

Here's an thread over at dodgecharger.com linky comparing a few aluminum vs cast iron orig. claimed weight savings is 10 lbs. Add aluminum water pump for a little more, your aluminum intake etc. Every 100 lbs off the car adds roughly a .10th off your quarter mile time. also you can move the batt to trunk for a big weight transfer off the front end to over the pass rear tire to help for traction.
