Re: IML: Mounting 440 on engine stand












David,

Have everything orderly laying out that will be needed to reassemble this
440 block.  Leave it on the engine stand no longer than you have to as
there's always a possiblility of distorting your cylinders.    I didn't know
this either until my uncle who was a Chrysler mechanic for 55 years informed
me.  I was building engines for our Dodge race car.  Be sure you also get a
supply of flat washers to make sure that the engine stand is attached
snugly.  GOOD LUCK!
Neva
