So if I wanted to build it like yours I would need to square deck the block 0.015? I'm sorry just trying figure this out.


In a perfect world that is what would happen but you have to remember that these engine blocks are 40+ years old now. Best bet is to get the block to an engine shop so they can clean, inspect and measure it before you buy any parts.

Do you have a copy of the BB Mopar book that I wrote? If not you might want to start there. It is only $20 and it might save you some money in the long run.
