Re: IML: Mounting 440 on engine stand

["nevanolan" <nevanolan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Have everything orderly laying out that will be needed to reassemble this
440 block.  Leave it on the engine stand no longer than you have to as
there's always a possiblility of distorting your cylinders.    I didn't know
this either until my uncle who was a Chrysler mechanic for 55 years informed
me.  I was building engines for our Dodge race car.  Be sure you also get a
supply of flat washers to make sure that the engine stand is attached
snugly.  GOOD LUCK!
Neva
