So I have what seems to be a good core Aluminum block with head I pulled awhile back from a pick and pull.

I see no significant corrosion at the deck or in water jackets.

It also had a a good gasket seal. Slight ridge at the top of the cylinders.

I understand that I'd be limited as far a build up so my plan would be to do an overhaul or minor warm over.

i'd then polish it up, add muticarbs, headers etc and do a Mopar roadster to show off the motor.

no need for lots of power in a light weight rod.

Question:

What would be a good formula for this?

and the $64,000 question: Where do I find a head gasket or am I screwed?

Thanks,
Al

Here's something on the subject: Twiggy and also Buster

Head gasket just sold last week on ebayg for~$74.

Thanks for leads on some great info!

So if I understand correctly,
if I do a block fill operation to close the
deck I can run a standard iron block gasket ?

No... the edge along the lifter gallery is different and the iron block's head gasket does not cover that edge...
