66 newyorker

Bought a 440 for my newyorker block is stamped 9/20/74 how can i find out what it came out of helppppppp

 

[commando1]

You can't!
And it doesn't make any difference.
I can assure you the owner of a non matching 1974 Mopar is not looking for it.

It may have a vin stamped on it and that may or may not be a complete, if it is that'll tell you exactly what it came out of. Also have a look at the machined pad up by the distributer for some more info and report back with your findings. In '74 I think they were all cast crank units but I could be mistaken.

 

[commando1]

The parts book show both a forged and cast crank for '74.
People will SWEAR they had a '74 with a forged crank but nobody has yet shown proof of one. Ever.
As far as I am concerned, if it was a '74 block, it was a cast crank.

I agree Stan, from a manufacturing standpoint they didn't set out to have 2 cranks available on purpose, if they had some leftovers maybe some early build cars had them. That is if they used forged in '73. Again, I could be wrong...

 

[commando1]

'73 is tuff. Every time you come up with a rule somebody produces proof otherwise.

Thx everyone

 

[Zeusee]

Yep. Everything. Mask nothing.

 

[Zeusee]

Thanks alot

Anyone know if the manifolds off my 383 will fit my 440

 

[BIGBARNEYCARS]

Exhaust-yes. Intake no way

Should have a letter E after 440 on pad and a thick vibration dampener, but I agree 74 is a cast crank unless it was in front of a manual trans. 74 intake is a good piece just block EGR and make sure to use external balance t.c. or flexplate

Except if it's a Canadian-made car for the Canadian market, it will be red...

 

[1966newport]

y pipe wont fit

 

[coronet66jj]

were cast crank big blocks externally balanced? like a 360?

 

[commando1]

Yes. The automatics mated to a cast crank had balanced torque converters.
