For those who question the durability of Ma Mopar's steel and aluminum...

Krooser
did you use a ring groove chaser on those pistons?
polish the head
new rings?
thanks for the pics
back in the c/fuel days we took those shortblocks and stuck in our cam and lifters, heads, strombergs tipped the can and had fun'
when the stock block expired just get another one
sometimes shifted as it saved smoking and wearing out the tires no slipper clutches but Scheiffer was still on Monterey Pass road in neighboring Monterey Park
I can remember when we put a scattershield on (that's another sad story)
and where it led with our driver is still painful
