Many people don't realize that the 400 block used a couple "steam holes" to cool their Siamese cylinders... and if the gaskets don't have the right holes they block the passages -- or if the heads aren't drilled for the 400 block then they're blocked... so you have to have the right gaskets AND the right heads or a 400 block will overheat.
