...440 super comando crate engine small block...

I'm not used to seeing 440 and small block.  Of course, then again, I don't know much about super commando's.  What's this about?  Thanks.

Siamese is when the water jacket does not fully go aroun between 2 side by side bores. There is actually steel joining the 2 cylinders together all the way up......Wonder if that balancer is sfi....probably not...wonder if peopl will have to tear them down to rebuild before firing them over...probably....Wonder if mopar is ever going to get us parts to use...not just complete motors that probably ain't going to exist...probably not...
