Looks like a sweet combo and I like that intake manifold as well. Really cool look. I thought stock 440's came with .020 head gasket, but I could be wrong. Is the .050 gasket intentional? Just curious, and the would tick the compression up a little.
Not sure on the factory gasket thickness. I want to be able to run 87 octane in this, so I don’t want the CR too high, I figured 9:1 would be acceptable.
