Looking for opinions on if this would be a problem or not? Thanks in advance for any advice. Joe 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts

That is what I was thinking too........seems like 400 deg or less should not be a problem in softening the temper. 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts
