My new 440
« on: May 20, 2007 - 10:23:19 AM »
Hey all,

I just picked up a 440 for cheap $$$.....I got the block, heads, crank, intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, distributor, valve covers, oil pan and more for $250.00.  Here's a few pics of it.  Can anyone tell me what the 6 at the end of the engine numbers stands for?  It's got 902 heads on it, are those the better heads that come with it?  At any rate, I'm pumped because I can finally start to build my motor!!!   :2thumbs:

Those are probably 906 heads.  :dunno: I was hoping maybe you had a 440-6 pack engine there, until I saw the 73 date code.  :lol: You got it for a good price.  :thumbsup:

Your halfway there Bob,find a 727 yet? Just to let you know,you can use your Transgo shift kit'd 904 valvebody on the 727 if you swap the park rod. :2thumbs:

Nothing yet on the trani....but I'll find one eventually.....I haven't decided if I want to keep my shift on the column or change it to the floor......eventually, I'd like a 4 or 5 speed in it, so I may go on the floor for now....
