I just do not understand why guys purchase aftermarket manifolds unless it is to save weight. I have a special Weiand for 440s and 383HP...but the factory setups were performance oriented as far as I am concerned...
As mentioned, Sleeve a Cylinder..has been perfected for many years, I ALWAYS ask Tech Questions on this Forum as or esteemed members have seen and Done it all. Hell, Race engines have sleeves...and yes, a Good shop has performed many of them is the shop you want.
Yup...so I might sell it cheap and do the 70 Long Block as my Daily Driver in the 70 Superbee...
Yes, thank you Mike...it's a Block I had picked up years ago, already at .060. The guy went bankrupt and divorced, left it at the shop. Im going to do the 70 Longblock I have...I think..
Like this...but I have in my possession:
1. A original 1970 440 automatic engine complete.
2. A Machined 440 block bored 0.60

My girl friend has Alzheimers and she hides things...All keys for the 2018 Longhorn Cummins and Shelby GT500 and Tundra have disappeared, had to spend $2K to get new "Keys" if you call them keys anymore, now my Back Binder for the Black 63 Polara is missing along with all receipts. I will find...
