New engine going in the '63 330

[Dodge 330]

A valve seat fell out of the old Stealths, killed the valves, destroyed the heads and pistons last fall.

We are almost back together with a sleeve, new pistons and new intake.

That pup should ride. That Victor look-alike is a good manifold. It should love upstairs like the Victor to the point of nose bleeding.

Is dropping a valve seat a common problem with 440 Source heads?

The new heads should be fun

Yes, I hate having a battery in the trunk of a street car! Going from one that weighs over 40 lbs. to one that is 20 lbs.

I’ve learned that they have a much shallower valve seat depth than other comparable heads. They did last for 10,000 street miles and hundreds of drag strip passes. I’m the poster child for torture testing things like that. Still not happy about it.
