Sorry to start that argument over model years, But it looks like I am in
search of a 67-71 440 block, I am using MOPAR W-7 heads so I'm not really
looking for those. I hope to build this up to 650-750 horse w/o the bottle.
I've got plenty of time since she's in Ohio and I'm in Texas. Thanks for the
info.
