Every freeze plug was leaking the last batch of steel plugs i bought near impossible to install.
The sides were too shallow to keep them aligned. Finnaly found some deep wall heavy brass plugs,worked great
Chevy has 4 pages of blocks available in my Competition Products catalog and Ford guys have all options they need.
Millions of smallblock Molars out there and no one is casting affordable performance blocks?
We're limited to the h.p we can make,unlike the Chevy guys that can make all the power...
Weight of the car is the big issue, a light car won't twist the block as soon as a heavy car. 2800 lbs vs 3800 lbs,which one is going to stress the parts more?
Keep in mind your washing the oil you coated the cylinders with when gas goes into it but it doesn't start to sling it onto the cylinders.Be sparing on the gas. If it's right it doesn't take but a spoonful of gas to bust it off.

Mopar 576 castings were sold by Mopar performance as a upgraded replacement for the 308 heads. Has the same exhaust port as the magnum heads. No dog leg,a nice smooth radius.
I have the part#574 made off the 576 casting. It was 2.02 valve version and called the 340 replacement.
