Thanks Don, Do you know what the upgraded 310 had to cure the head gasket blowing problem? The early ones like mine (late 60's) would blow atleast one or two per year,even if we took care to lightly load the engine and never use starting fluid.

Nothing seemed to help much as we still would pop several head gaskets per summer. I seem to remember that the 310 only had 4 head bolts per cylinder. Liner vibration was severe enough to wear out the lower liner mount in the block which caused the top lip to crack off the liners because of no support and much vibration at the bottom.
