Thanks, the technique worked great!

How do you remove the iron interlock type sealing rings found on a Torqueflite? Having trouble getting one off the governor support/parking gear.

I used a set of Mr. Gasket about 2 years ago, silver coating plus some kind of clear with drips? Looked sketchy but seemed to work ok.

I'll try the superformance. Thanks for the replies!

Iron heads on this build so I want .020 ish compressed.

Having trouble finding steel shim head gaskets for big blocks. The Mr. Gasket version has some kind of clear coating that looks irregular, and Mopar Performance gaskets are crazy expensive. Has anyone used the Superformance brand?

Ran a set of Hooker slip fit 2-1/8 on an RB with no clearance issues at all. On a B engine with an 11 inch flywheel, even the Schumachers hit the starter.

At 90 psi the oil filter is the weak link.

personally, I like the piston and cam (revised version) choice. Assuming that the machine work is sound this should be a nice 440 for the OP.

Pulled countless 440's out of Chrysler New Yorkers back in the day, all had the front and rear pads and sheet metal retainers.

Thanks.

Do the KB237 pistons have individual valve reliefs, or the slot across the entire piston? Most places have a generic picture.

Here's your Gen III stock bottom end with one turbo:

I have no experience with 360 block. The weakness of the 400 and 440 is the main web area, shows up in the 750 and above HP range/ couple hundred passes. 230 block may last a little longer. Did you replace your Volare Gen III hemi crank/rods/ pistons? Is it turbocharged, and how much boost?

400 block at 800-900 hp = cracked main webs.

Not sure about Hughes, but many shops are running with minimal staff these days.

Very dirty assembly, yes.

That was a live stream joint effort build for another YouTuber. When Nick received the engine he stopped the dyno session when oil psi was low. Weeks later the engine owner tore it down and found that he had installed standard main bearings on a .020 under crank. Too many chefs in the kitchen...

Absolutely must check that lifters rotate during assembly. Bores need to be clean, some may require light hone.

I like the paint by Bill Hirsch. The coverage per can is really good, lots of solids.
