Hi all
As we do from time to time, I found myself looking at an interesting vehicle that I could become attached to for a time should the universe align in a particular way.
I only have very limited details available, but is it possible to determine from the cast numbers in what type of vehicle the engine was originally installed in or built for?
It is a 1977 engine and I am mindful many (perhaps even most) 440s around that time were low compression engines installed for heavy duty work rather engines that were intended to perform. The owner doesn’t know what type of vehicle the 440 was taken from.
Or were all 440s by 1977 relatively sedate compared to those manufactured in earlier years?
I will drive the vehicle next week, and though I should do some due diligence before hand.
Thanks in advance to the Mopar community.
