Hello, all (& Happy New Year)!
While under my '73 Chally doin' some drive-train stuff, I took the opportunity to snap some photos -- of the passenger-side of my big block (seller told me he was advised it was a 440 originally out of a '70 GTX). Below is the pic of the casting # (and is that a '70 date code?) off the passenger-side; and, it wasn't til this morning that I learned while at
http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=66 that:
"The block casting numbers for all RB, B, and LA engines are found on the left (driver) side of the block. In addition, on 1968 and later engines the numbers stamped on the lower rail of the engines right (passenger) side match the last 8 digits of the cars vehicle identification number."At first, I didn't see my block's casting # in the chart at mymopar.com grouped together with the other 1970 440's but then, I spied it higher in the chart, in the '66-'72 group.
Cut & paste from: Mopar Engine Casting Numbers 1959-1978:
http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=66 Casting Number CID Year Type Remarks
2536430 440 1966-72 RB
3698830 440 1973-78 RB
4006530 400 1976-78 B
4006630 440 1978 RB
Question is this: With the info in the below pic, can anyone tell me any more info on the 440 I have? Or, in other words, based on the info in the pic provided,
just which engine's specs should I be referring to, going forward, when I visit this chart, here?: Mopar Engine Specifications 1966-1974:
