B Body manifolds fit fine. Mild 440 ran mid 12s with them! Not to mention crap 516 heads.

Keep this in mind. If you buy aluminum heads you still have to have them checked out!!! Dont run anything out of the box. I bought my Stealths for $1000 and still had to have $450 worth of work.....recut seats....checking guides.....replacing retainers and locks. Now days with prices up to $1499...

You cant do a compression test with a breaker bar!!!!! Oil the cylinders and top end then get a starter on it. Squirting a little oil in the intake and exhaust ports will help.

Make Your Own DC-K Frame even stock mounts require the steering box mount to be trimmed back

The rockers and intake are worth more than what you paid. Plus the heads are most likely machined for double springs! Tach drive distributor and early chrome valve covers.....score

Check this out, its wild and slant six powered!!

Direct drive vs Belt driven

Here are original Cranes. They have the same grooves and oil holes. They were always a very strong rocker arm. If the 440 source are anything like the originals you'll be fine! There were also Crane knock offs made by Elgin or Crane made them for Elgin.

Schumacher sells a shim pack. The kit should come with a bunch of shims that fit under the mount. Different sizes which add up to over 1" of shims.

From what I remember the side with the two holes is for B and RB motors. looks like 4 1/2" vs 5 1/4" center to center. The other two sides are common.

I will check today. Sorry for the late reply

Are you looking for the cast bracket that bolts to the head?
