For Sale 1966 Chrysler imperial 440

[Dano]

I been a bit Mia lately. Brought home this gem last weekend. Complete car bumper to bumper. This car was a one family owned. Pretty neat. I am thinking about selling it. Just putting some feelers out to see if there is any interest.

The air cleaner is wrong and I think the radiator is wrong to? is that the original engine for that car?

How can you tell?

It has the vacuum canister on the snorkel. it's a later smog engine, or at a minimum the wrong air cleaner.

The radiator looks factory. Here's a pic of a factory 67 440 4bbl air cleaner

Yea the air cleaner looks 70s but he just threw on the Imperial pie tin, I would be suspicious of a engine transplant unless the original air cleaner went missing and was replaced there will be someone who knows a lot more then me on this subject.

Great color on that one.

I was told that the engine was rebuilt some where a long the line. According to the vin this car has the 440. I can't see under the air compressor to see the engine where the traditional 440 would be stamped. To much stuff in the way.

It's the right radiator, 66 was the first year for that style.

It's not all that difficult. My dead grandmother could do it. Especially if she was selling it.

Screw you dude.

This board isn't for those with delicate sensibilities LOL. Shouldn't the casting # on the block tell the tale?

The year date is cast into the side near the top edge on the passenger side.

Screw you dude.

It was kinda funny, you have to admit Dano and if you're trying to sell it it's an important detail. That's all I'm saying.

Radiator is correct, air cleaner is not...although that might be an air cleaner off an '81 - '83 Imp.

 

[Dano]

Did a little looking today. Been crazy busy. My casting numbers are 25364305. Which makes is a 440. The date year is 7.15.70!!! So the old guy did replace the original one. My thought is he put on a ton of miles towing campers from Indiana to Long Island. After 4 years maybe longer her replaced it with a 1970 440. This odometer reads just over a thousand miles. One could say after he replaced the motor be never drove it much then parked it in 1999.

 

[patrick66]

I wonder if he retained the original '66 closed-chamber heads, or used the '70s on that 440. You've got a nice driver there.
