360 Magnum Build w/ V Belt Configuration Question

Often is such the case. It’s not the intake by itself but the cumulative machining here there and everywhere. I had to take the same amount off of the wife’s intake and I did mine .070. This mainly comes from milling the deck. Also the cylinder heads. Head gasket thickness also has a play. These three things will stack up to make part fitment an issue every time. Standard expected fodder for engine building.

Yeah that was a little disappointing but I've come to expect it with this engine and especially this car. Nothing just bolts up.

The engine should run pretty hard. The best part is my machinist had us come over and my daughter and I assembled this thing. I ground every compression ring to fit on while my daughter assembled all the oil rings. We assembled and torqued everything. Enlarged oil galleys and even blueprinted. I sure hope it runs!
