Back when we were kids my younger brother and I were arguing over a knocking sound coming from our '68 Formula S 383 4sp Barracuda. He said it was a main bearing, I said it was a connecting rod bearing. So we decided to hold the pedal on the floor and wait for it to blow. It did. Big...
I cant confirm they are the same but I'm running the D452 on my 440 in my '62 Dodge. Great fit. Mini starter required. The D452 is what you want for the RB block. I also have the 727 pushbutton.
You would think so but everywhere you look they say 15 ft lbs.
The last gasket I bought was the Superformance. Won't squeeze out like cork. I use a 1/4" drive with a 6" extension and just snug them up one handed. You can watch for the gasket to squeeze out a tiny bit then stop. I think the...
Yep, I read it was your first build. Just checking the obvious things first.

There's an inspection cover. Remove it. You'll have to turn the flywheel/converter to see each bolt. Use a open end wrench on the torque converter bolt to turn it to the next one or a socket on the front damper bolt.
I'd remove the header and do a close inspection of that hole. If it has a crack you might be chasing your tail. If it is cracked you might be able to repair it in the car.
