With hood clearance being the limiting factor and not knowing what compression ratio you currently have but guessing it is a bit low, I'm going to suggest closed chamber heads of whatever brand you choose to bring compression up a bit and a cam with duration @ .050 less than 230 or you will be...

I know a lot are running diesel oil in their gas burning engines. Probably all are fine at low rpm daily driving and cruising but those diesel oils are not formulated for higher rpm performance gasoline engines. Just my .02 cents.

I just built an engine and went roller. I spent around $700.00 more but I wanted to avoid the tedious flat tappet cam break-in procedure.

That should do it.

The bores look incredibly good, and it seems to me the block was standing in dirt and mud only on the timing chain/water pump end which accumulated the most crust. His car only has "one" numbers matching engine and this is it. I totally agree with the builder of the A-12 Super Bee for putting...

Impressive!

Yes. Use the Valvoline 10-30 Racing Oil with HIGH ZINC.

As you have already saw, you will get many, many opinions on what you should do. So here is mine and from my own experiences. I would definitely install higher compression pistons to work with the better breathing 452 heads because a 440 loves compression. Shoot for as close to 10:1 as possible...

That is really impressive! The best I’ve saw for sure!!!

Was the picture of the cylinder made with the head off?

I do this also but I use a test light in series instead of a volt/ohm/amp meter.

I disagree. I think these cars look like they own the road with those taxi cab wheels. I cannot get into this look. Maybe I'm too old?

I really like the black steel wheels on this car better than the oversize rallye wheels pictured below. If this car was mine and these two sets of wheels were my only option, I would bomb can those steelies with a fresh coat of black and roll. Which looks better to you?

I guess there are advantages to being born poor southern white trash after all. There wasn't anything to feud over after our parents died. It's just my older brother and myself and I just don't believe anything could have come between us even if we had been born into money.
