440 Parts

I am going to be going through the 440 I bought for the dart. Not a engine man myself so will need some tips. This is not a rebuild, just a replace some seals, clean up and run as it is. Here is what I have planned any tips would be great! Thanks!

Going to tear apart heads and clean, replace valve seals. Stock replacements work ok?

Replacing oil pump.

New gasket kit.

New head bolt kit.

New freeze plugs.... advice on how to replace?

New timing chain... is it ok to just do the chain or should I get the gears also?

New damper.... looking for a cheap stock replacement. 440 source has one listed for internal balanced? Were factory motors balanced internally??

As you can tell this is going to be done as cheap as possible. Thanks in advance!! :cheers:
