On the 440 as your looking at the front of the engine on the right hand side there's a square pad. It will be just in front of the intake manifold. The 383 doesn't have that, and the 400 doesn't have it ether.
RB vs B engine
casting parting line on drivers side below the head .. it's a taller deck than B blocks
about an inch below the deck/head surface
could be any RB though
To make sure it's a 440 vs 413 or something else check the pad Jason mentioned
Pad is cleaned off in this pic .. to drivers side of dizzy

440 or RB blocks will have a raised machined pad. Sometimes it's hard to see if it has a a/c compressor mounted
383 or B blocks are easy to spot as the waterpump jackets are flush with the cylinder deck.

Kc posted just about the best pics that you can find that illustrates it. None better.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought both 413s and 440s shared the same pad ????
They do but Glenn wanted to make sure it's a 440 instead of a 413 or something else
The displacement is stamped on the pad .. i.e. 440, 426, 413, 383
