    1971 440 blocks
    « on: June 01, 2016 - 12:31:02 PM »
    I have a 1971 Barracuda with a 318 and have been thinking about a big block upgrade.

    How difficult is it to find a 1971 440 block for my car?  I don't ever see them for sale in my neck of the woods.

    why would it matter what year is stamped in the block? I have a '71 in my 70 original 318 car, adds no value to the car if it's non matching.

    It's mainly personal preference I suppose.  I have a 71 318, 340 and 383...  Plus a bunch of other blocks and parts, some guys collect beer cans.

    I even started sonic testing them just for fun.  I'm considering buying my own tester to save $$$.
