Not Mopars fault. Unless you knew the person that you bought it from or was a reputable shop with a warrenty - check things out. On second go - Find a machine shop that checks things out.

Did you pay to have the block and heads magnifluxed before you started your rebuild. Magnifluxing both the block and heads and sonic checking the block is usually worth the added cost.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27

Appears to be a common mistake with a simple fix. The engine builder put the drivers side head gasket on the passenger side by mistake.
I agree. happens all the time. Especially on the Hemi small blocks.

The fix for the hole was to mill out the galley and sleve it with a sleve.
The 440 Source Galley Sleeves are junk.
