I had a 68 442... The day I sold it i seen 3 on the highway heading home. Like gut punches with everyone that passed.

I'm building a destroked 400... Dart SHP block, callies rods and crank, CP pistons, Dart Aluminum pro series heads... etc... should be good for 650-700hp

I built a few myself... same with th400s. One can build a th350 to hold power. I used to machine the clutch drums for extra steel plates and friction pads then set the clearance a little tighter, modify the valve bodies, sprag, etc etc...
650hp ain't no joke.

550 mk 2 stripped down. I don’t have to split the case on this one and I don’t have a splitter for the 5 series. Any good aftermarket tools or secret methods to split a 5 series case?

I used a heat gun, a rubber mallet and China made bearing puller... without issue.

This stuff. Local vintage cycle restorer recommended it. Anyone familiar with it?

Get yourself a Husqvarna case splitting tool…better yet, just go buy a new short block and be done with it
