Will there be any difference in a 440 - 1972, between a car engine and an engine from a motorhome...???

As far as I know it may be a cast crank and externally balanced but I believe 72 was the year the converted over from forged cranks to cast.....look at the balancer and if it has a big weight on the outside of it is a cast/externally balanced system... :working:


just rip the guts out of it and build it up  :money:

it also depends what size motor home , the larger chassis have different heads & water pump with ports directly into the heads ,smaller motorhomes use a standard 440

 :iagree: but I will never run any motor without ripping the guts out and putting my parts in it etc... are you just looking for a 440 to pull out of one vehicle and drop into another???

I like the E-Brake on the 727, since it's going into my 59 DeSoto..
But it got to be a "normal" 440..???

I would think the cam might be different.
72 Cuda, owned 25 years. 496, with ported Stage VI heads, .625 in solid roller, 254/258 at .050, 3500 stall, 3.91 rear. 850 Holley DP, Reverse manual valve body.

1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"
