All,
I am currently looking at buying a 1965 Custom 880 convertible. The owner is not completely sure about the motor but claims the motor is original and that the car had a "bigblock" possibly a 440.
My research indicated that the cars came with a 383 or optional 413 motor. I spoke to the owner again who looked through his paperwork and an appraisal says its a 318. Again my understanding is that these big cars never came with a 318. It is a 1965 Dodge Custom 880 from Florida.
The car is 5 hours away so I am hoping to get some insight from the gurus of the forum on the motor. I have attached a picture - not sure if it will help. Also, is there a specific spot on the motor where we can get info on the motor? I can ask the owner to check.
