Thanks for the info, I was leaning towards the Edelbrock heads. This helps confirm it may be the right choice.

Thanks, I can't seem to find the thread that has the specifics of your build

I will definitely be calling Hughes

Thanks for the advice. I will probably put aluminum heads on it. Cam selection is a struggle. I will be sticking with the TF.

Thanks for the heads up. I assumed that the 440 Source kits were balanced by them as indicated on their site. I will look at all options.

I'm thinking about building a stroker for my 66 300. Other than the 383 that is currently in the car, I have another 383 block and a 400 block. I was thinking about a 451 or a 512. I was hoping to get some opinions, I know there will be a lot. What I am hoping for is something that is very...

Thank you. So I understand that you install them convex side out then hit it with a hammer. How hard do you hit it? Should some kind of sealant be used?

Today a friend of mine blew a core plug on his 1962 361. Apparently they are a different style than the cup type. The local wrecking yard that has a lot of old parts thinks he may have some but I need the diameter. Does anyone know in the diameter would be the same as any big block cup style...

Thanks, I will look at those areas.

Thank you for following up . It appears that this part number gasket matches the transmission but not the pan. If yours is not leaking there then I must have another issue. I did notice the other day that 1 bolt appears to be crooked. Maybe installed that way by previous owner. Could be...

Does the rubber seal stick out in those 2 locations I indicated?

I was mistaken, in the first photo I was pointing at the corner, it is actually to the left of that where it doesn't cover the entire gasket. Here are a couple photos of the pan in these areas. Currently a felpro gasket installed.

Does anyone know the difference between 2464324-AD and 2464324-AC? I have the AD version. It is plastic and the raised rubber sealing surfaced does not get completely covered by the pan in the middle at the back and at the right rear corner.

Yes, I read somewhere else before getting the measurement confirmed by you on the B body site. I saw your post 5 minutes after I posted that comment. Thank you for the confirmation and everyone else for all of the feedback.

Yes the tube lengths would vary and if you have matched set, there would be no question. Because I do not believe I have a matched set I want to verify I'm at the correct depth. The full mark on the dipstick needs to be a specific distance from the bottom of the block. While I have the pan off I...

More capacity but the oil level will be the same distance from the bottom of the block when full. I don't believe dipstick length has anything to do with pan depth. I read somewhere that oil level should to be about 1.5 inches below the bottom of the block when full. Looking for confirmation.

Really? Shouldn't the full level be the same regardless of pan depth?

Could someone tell me how far the dipstick in a big block should extend past the bottom of the block. I didn't assemble this motor and I suspect it had the wrong dipstick. What makes me think this is that there is a curl at the end of it. I have five other big blocks and none of them have a...

No numbers. I think as long as I have a matched dipstick and tube, I should be okay.

I'll check tomorrow.
