Identify my 440cui

[andben]

Hi, I got a bigblock engine in my Challenger (clone 440) and it says "6 T440 E H P -  7 14 2"

Can you guys "decode of experties" translate to human language?

HP block first shift
1969 block most likely meant for 1970 model year but possible 69 year

Hopefully you still have the steel crank and six pack rods.

I will go the other way , I believe this is a 6T is a 76 block / engine 440 E cast crank HP
if the E was in front of the 440 I would say 69 but after is cast crank

Yup, 76 Cast Crank HP most likely from a cop car... 7.8-1 C/R..

The VIN on the passenger side of the block will confirm what year the vehicle was that it came out of...

The casting numbers are another way to determine year.

This is what I found

6T = 1976
440 = CID
E = Cast Crank
HP = High Performance (never heard of 1976 HP block with cast crank - so maybe cop car?)
7142 = 10,000 day Julian Calendar (you'll need to check your numbers again 7142 = 2/15/81)

Look again, it's E H P (not E HP) so it's probably seperated H and P. That makes it "standard 4bbl" and "fuel recommended" ?!

E H P

hhmmm, looks like we need more information from the block - cast numbers, VIN pad numbers and harmonic damper ID.

I'd like to see a pic of the raised portion of the block.

That way there is no guessing
