Hi Don,
I am getting ready to put together a 440 and I'm using the Felpro Blue
head gaskets that you mentioned.  Are they supposed to be assembled dry
or should I coat them with something like the Permatex copper spray
gasket seal stuff.
Regards,
Ken

Chrysler makes especially thier BB block heads generoulsy thick.
Unfortunately that also makes them big on combustion chamber volume and
low on compression. Add to that that most of us use Felpro Blue head
gaskets (The worlds best) and they are .020+ " thicker than the stock
head gaskets which were .019" to .021"  depending on source we are
giving away gobs of compression.  Compression is good for HP. 
Anyway that is the scoop.
