A GUY was trying to sell me a motor from a 1969 Super Beee today, a (440) i think he said its a 1973 engine. anyways, i am sure big differences in a 440 motor so i wrote down the number on engine block, if anyone can help me with this that would be great     246813010 LL

I'm no expert, but this site lists that casting number as being a 383:

Super Bees & RR never had a 440 except in 70/71 with the 6 pack , there was no Super Bee after 71

Yep,

383 motor

In 1972 when the GTX became just an option of the RR, they were 440s some with 4 barrels and I guess some early ones with 6 packs:

In 1972, the Plymouth GTX was dropped as a model line of its own, and made into a Road Runner option. Any Road Runner ordered with the 440-4 engine in 1972-1974 was, technically, a GTX option package. This didn't mean much more than having the larger 440 engine, heavier torsion bars to hold it up (0.92" diam. instead of the stock 0.88"), and three "GTX" emblems - one for each fender and one on the trunk next to the "bird-in-circle" decal. Engines were essentially the same as in 1971, except for electronic ignition; horsepower ratings fell as the switch from gross to net was made universal and gross figures were no longer reported. Sales fell for 1972, partly on misunderstanding of the rating system, but went back up (though not up to 1971 levels) for 1973 and 1974. (Thanks, Dave Wilson.)

1972 was the last year for the 440 Six Pack; John Shoe wrote that they were actually built late in calendar-year 1971.

i have a fender tag off of a 1969 coronet r/t super bee [ bees on rear quarters] n- 96 car, which has a 440-4bbl engine. it is not the super bee that is commonly known with the six pack. mabe a car such as this is where that engine came from ??  [if it is in fact a 440 ]

ever say bever , the Coronet R/T can have a 440 , the Super Bee is supposed to be 383 or 426 unless it was an A 12 car or 70-72 6 pack , I think there was 3 440 6 pack 72s for Plymouth & a couple for Dodge built before the official decision to kill the option .
