The 440 is the best sounding V8 ever made. Please post a burnout video once you get it running.

It's probably stop leak which is loving bonkers to put in a drat racecar.

I'd check every cooling passage you can and make sure there's nothing sticking to the walls, I had a Miata that was ruined by a PO putting shitloads of stop leak in it.

[e] check all the hoses too and replace any of them that are caked

I'm looking at some exhaust options from TTI (2.5in vs 3in and X vs H pipe, leaning towards 3in H-pipe but I need to make sure it'll fit with all the modifications this car has) but I don't know that I'll make a move on that this year. In the meantime, I'd like to run the engine long enough to get it up to temp but I can't do that in it's current state. Since I have two mufflers already, is there any reason why I couldn't just connect them directly to the headers?

Yeah you can do that no problem as long as they fit, and usually guys put little dumps on the end of the mufflers to point it towards the ground, I don't know if that's better for sound or fumes or both.

presumably to get some of that sweet sweet boomer money that makes anything pre 1975 dumb expensive

If it was a matching numbers, completely stock and unrestored 440 or Hemi car it would be, but as a race (drag) car it's not going to be worth anything near that.
